Summary
The linear and nonlinear dynamics of cylindrical conduits is reviewed, establishing why this topic has become a paradigm in dynamics and a model problem in fluid-structure interactions. The fundamental behaviour, as well as applications ranging from power generation to offshore oil and gas production, and from mining to aerospace, are discussed. Many variants of thick- and thin-walled conduits with internal flow are presented, displaying a wide variety of dynamics. The basic computational tools employed in each case are also discussed.
