Evolution of the double-jumping in pipes conveying fluid flowing at the supercritical speed

Non-linear vibration of viscoelastic pipes conveying fluid around curved equilibrium due to the supercritical flow is investigated with the emphasis on steady-state response in external and internal resonances. The governing equation, a non-linear integro-partial-differential equation, is truncated into a perturbed gyroscopic system via the Galerkin method. The method of multiple scales is applied to establish the solvability condition in the first primary resonance and the 2:1 internal resonance. The approximate analytical expressions are derived for the frequency amplitude curves of the steady-state responses. The stabilities of the steady-state responses are determined. The generation and the vanishing of a double-jumping phenomenon on the frequency amplitude curves are examined. The analytical results are supported by the numerical integration results.
