Abstract:This paper describes the confirmation of countermeasure's effect for flow-induced vibration in a shell & tube type heat exchanger. This type of heat exchanger has often been used in the LPG gas carrier ship and has sometimes caused a fretting and finally comes to a fatigue failure. In flow-induced vibration, there are vortex-induced vibration, fluid elastic instability and buffeting. In this paper, the clip is adopted as the countermeasure and it is clarified that the clip can suppress the tube vibration drast… Show more
