Modal analysis on a fluid-conveying pipe subject to elastic supports with unknown-but-bounded parameters

Key Points

• Identifying the modal characteristics of fluid-conveying pipes is crucial for effective engineering design and maintenance.
• The analysis reveals that elastic supports significantly influence the stability of fluid-conveying pipes.
• Assessment using modal analysis methods was performed with considerations for both unknown and bounded parameters.
• Understanding these dynamics may enable better designs in industries relying on fluid transport.
