A novel way for vibration control of FGM fluid-conveying pipes via NiTiNOL-steel wire rope

In this study,a coupling model of fluid-conveying pipes made of functionally graded materials(FGMs)with NiTiNOL-steel(NiTi-ST)for vibration absorption is investigated.The vibration responses of the FGM fluid-conveying pipe with NiTi-ST are studied by the Galerkin truncation method(GTM)and harmonic balance method(HBM).The harmonic balance solutions and the numerical results are consistent.Also,the linearized stability of the structure is determined.The effects of the structure parameters on the absorption performance are also studied.The results show that the NiTi-ST is an effective means of vibration absorption.Furthermore,in studying the effect of the NiTi-ST,a closed detached response(CDR)is first observed.It is noteworthy that the CDR may dramatically change the vibration amplitude and that the parameters of the NiTi-ST may determine the emergence or disappearance of the CDR.This vibration absorption device can be extended to offer more general vibration control in engineering applications.

Evaluate the Possibility of Cracking Pipe on Water Supply Network under the Age of Pipe

Minimizing water loss in water supply networks is one of the objectives for protecting water resources. Currently, the large amount of water loss is mainly due to leakage of the pipeline network. The leaking of pipe can be caused by incorrect construction, impacted by external forces, or corroded pipe material and aging. Therefore, to control and predict the cracking area on pipe, it is necessary to collect data about pipe conditions, approve the solution of technology improvement and define the ability of pipe capacity from setting up to the first preparing time. This paper will demonstrate how to evaluate corrosion pipe under the age of pipe and the impact level of internal pressure pipe at different times, and will put forward solution of effective leaking management on water supply network.
