Research Abstract	In this paper, the nonlinear lateral vibrations of a cantilevered pipe, which is hung vertically with an end mass and conveys fluid, are examined theoretically and experimentally under the supercritical condition that planar and nonplanar pipe vibrations are self-excited due to an internal flow above the critical velocity. First, the effect of an end mass on the pipe vibration is discussed theoretically with the nonlinear coupled equations of the lateral deflections of the pipe. Second. the experiments were conducted with a silicon rubber pipe conveying water. The spatial behaviors of the fluid-conveying pipe were observed by means of the image-processing system based on the images from two CCD cameras. Furthermore it is examined for the case that the upper end of the pipe is excited periodically in a horizontal direction.
