Vibrations in Piping Systems Caused by Fluid Transients and Seismic Excitations

在管道系统的设计中，考虑管道及其输送的流体之间的动态相互作用是至关重要的。该项目由两部分组成。第一部分阐述了准确描述管道中液体/结构相互作用的新理论和分析技术的发展和验证。该理论适用于承受一般动态载荷的各类管道应用。该项目的第二阶段将该理论应用于地震荷载情况；目标是为地震多发地区的管道设计提供新的设计指南。

Consideration of the dynamic interaction between pipes and the fluids they transport is crucial in the design of piping systems. This project comprises two components. The first addresses the development and validation of new theory and analysis techniques for accurately representing the liquid/structure interaction in piping. The theory is applicable to a wide class of piping applications subject to general dynamic loading. The second phase of this project applies the theory to the seismic loading case; the goal is new design guidelines for pipe design in earthquake prone regions.
