A view of the research on the dynamic response of pipes conveying fluid

A view of the research on the dynamic response of pipes conveying fluid is presented. Five classes of problems are dealt with according to the pipe structure and the disposition of the flow: (1)straight pipes with supported ends and steady flow; (2)straight cantilevered pipes with steady flow; (3) straight pipes with unsteady flow; (4) cylindrical shell conveying fluid; (5) curved pipes. On this basis, the research tendency in this area is analyzed.
