Abstract:
The curved pipe made of functionally graded material conveying fluid is considered and the in-plane free vibration frequency of the resulting composite pipe is investigated. The material properties are assumed to distribute continuously along the pipe wall thickness according to a power law and the effective mass, flexural rigidity, and mass ratio are used in the governing equations. The natural frequencies are derived numerically by applying the modified inextensible theory. The lowest four natural frequencies are studied via the complex mode method, the validity of which is demonstrated by comparing the results with those in available literatures. A parametric sensitivity study is conducted by numerical examples and the results obtained reveal the significant effects of material distribution gradient index, flow velocity, fluid density, and opening angle on the natural frequencies of the FGM curved pipes conveying fluid.
