Abstract

Three types of suspension of a semi-infinite Bernoulli-Euler beam and a fluid-conveying pipe are considered. It is shown that the environment in the form of a semi-infinite Bernoulli-Euler beam or a fluid-conveying pipe is taken into account by adding a fractional derivative into the suspension equation. The eigenvector expansion method based upon transformation of the derived equation into a set of four semi-differential equations is utilised for solving the equations with fractional derivatives. A simple expression for the critical velocity of the fluid in the pipe is obtained. If this value is exceeded, both the pipe and its suspension become unstable.
