This paper aims to explore a system with two linear oscillators coupled in a circular pipeline and clarify the synchronous mechanism from the viewpoint of energy transfer. Considering the mass of the motor housing and stator, etc., this paper presents a continuous model of a pipeline system with concentrated mass and discretizes it using the Galerkin method under simply supported conditions. The synchronization criteria are then derived from the energy integration of the motion equations. The mutual comparison of the characteristic analysis and the numerical results verifies the effectiveness of the theoretical investigation in the present paper, and the system exhibits synchronous behavior in the non-resonant region. The Sommerfeld effect near the 1st-order resonance region is explored, and the minimum supplied power frequency threshold is found for the system to pass through the capture-jump behavior. Additionally, the influence of structural parameters such as pipeline internal diameter, oscillator mass, and excitation location on the synchronization behavior of the system is discussed. These results are expected to provide good support for understanding the synchronous behavior in pipelines and vibration utilization techniques in pipeline transportation.
