Bifurcation analysis is conducted to investigate the dynamics of a spinning pipe conveying fluid with pulsation. The partial differential equations of the system are obtained by considering the nonlinearity in curvature and inertia. They are then discretized to the ordinary differential equations by means of the Galerkin expansion so that the primary and combination resonance conditions are imposed to the system. Moreover, the multiple scales method is utilized to solve the resultant equations, and the stability of the equilibrium points of the system is determined through the continuation method. The equilibrium solutions are also examined by the numerical integration, by which the existence of double jump, saddle node and Hopf bifurcations are demonstrated for different values of the fluid velocity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
