RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED PIPING SYSTEM WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF DAMPER

Abstract

Analytical methods for steady-state response of the piping system with various types of the nonlinear dampers are proposed. As one span model of piping system, a beam simply supported at one end, with the nonlinear dampers at the other end is dealt with. In this paper, impact damper and elasto-plastic damper are described as nonlinear dampers. The resonance curves and mode shapes are obtained by the method of approximate solution
