Summary:
The Energy Accountancy method is used to describe the response of a system by accounting for the various energy components in a system, that is components describing the input energy, the energy dissipated, and the energy transfered by the system. These components are functions of quantities that can be determined either through measurement or finite element analysis of the system. This concept is used in this study to determine the response of a small diameter pipe containing two different fluids, air and water. The results of this study have shown that the Snergy Accountancy method can be used to describe the response of a thin walled shell structure with good results. It has also been shown in this study that in small diameter pipes the fluid contained by the system can be considered to act as a reactive medium in the response of the structure.
