TL;DR: In this article, the flow-induced vibration of circular cylinders in quiescent fluid, axial flow, and crossflow was analyzed and applications of analytical methods and experimental data in design evaluation of various system components.

TL;DR: In this article, a computer code (AMASS) is developed to calculate added mass coefficients for a group of circular cylinders based on the potential flow theory, and the equations of motion for rod bundles are then derived including hydrodynamic forces, drag forces, fluid pressure, gravity effect, axial tension and damping.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model is proposed to describe the phenomena of parallel-flow-induced vibrations of a flexible rod, and a solution is obtained for a rod with arbitrary end conditions; the solution can be used for fixed, hinged, cantilevered and other elastically supported end conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact frequency equation is derived for the general case and an approximate closed-form solution is obtained for the shell system with an incompressible fluid, and it is found that the lowest frequency of the coupled system is associated with one of the out-of-phase modes, and is lower than the frequencies of the individual shells.
