Optimization of critical flow velocity in cantilevered fluid-conveying pipes, with a subsequent non-linear analysis

Abstract This study deals with optimal design of cantilevered fluid-conveying pipes. The aim is to maximize the critical flow speed of the fluid by means of additional masses, supporting springs or dampers along the length of the pipe. The optimization problem was formulated by modelling the pipe...
