The paper deals with the vibration and dynamic stability of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid
on elastic foundations. The relationship between the eigenvalue branches and corresponding
unstable modes associated with the flutter of the pipe is thoroughly investigated. Governing
equations of motion are derived from the extended Hamilton's principle, and a numerical
scheme using finite element methods is applied to obtain the discretized equations. The critical
flow velocity and stability maps of the pipe are obtained for various elastic foundation para-
meters, mass ratios of the pipe, and structural damping coefficients. Especially critical mass
ratios, at which the transference of the eigenvalue branches related to flutter takes place, are
precisely determined. Finally, the flutter configuration of the pipe at the critical flow velocities
is drawn graphically at every twelfth period to define the order of the quasi-mode of flutter
configuration.
