This shows that there is a clear relationship between how
the internal (and external) pressure affects both global buckling
and the natural frequencies of a span.
It is also quite obvious that the natural frequency will
decrease as the internal pressure increases. Finally, as the
effective axial force approaches the critical buckling load, the
frequency approaches zero, 0. However, this occurs for the
theoretical case with pinned-pinned support conditions. In
pi reality, a pipeline span will experience a gradual deflection or
sagging that will give raise to non-linear effects not accounted
for in the expressions above. By this reason, the natural
frequency of free spans should be estimated by use of other
tools, e.g. non-linear FE analysis, when the effective axial force

Another comment to be given to eq. (36) is that this
The net effect of the internal pressure will be similar to a expression gives the critical buckling force for a pinned-pinned
