| Current methods in design and analysis of the Pipelines using Engineering formulae given in textbooks form the basis of industrial computational techniques for stress and vibration analysis. However, these methods do not take into consideration the dynamic effects of Coriolis Force on a fluid filled Pipeline.; Problems of Pipeline vibration due to Coriolis Force are known to the industry, though not much work has been done to correlate the two.; In this thesis a Finite Element Method (FEM) has been developed for the application of Coriolis Force on a fluid filled Pipeline.; Nine cases were studied using this FEM and actual industrial project data. The resultant data shows noticeable effects of Coriolis Force at relatively higher flow velocities. Versatility of the format of this FEM equation is shown by its correlation to research work by other scholars and future prospects in this field are indicated. |
