OPEN ACCESS
A numerical formulation of flow-induced instability modelling of laminated anisotropic pipelines is derived. The analysis is based on fluid-structure interaction equations and FEA. Taking into account the flow parameters and the material properties, critical flow velocities causing instability are calculated for fibre-reinforced polymeric (FRP) pipelines resting on elastic supports. A parametric study of the effect of fibre orientation, stiffness of elastic supports and span length between supports is carried out. The results are commented and discussed.
