Local buckling failure analysis of high-strength pipelines

Abstract

Pipelines in geological disaster regions typically suffer the risk of local buckling failure because of slender structure and complex load. This paper is meant to reveal the local buckling behavior of buried pipelines with a large diameter and high strength, which are under different conditions, including pure bending and bending combined with internal pressure. Finite element analysis was built according to previous data to study local buckling behavior of pressurized and unpressurized pipes under bending conditions and their differences in local buckling failure modes. In parametric analysis, a series of parameters, including pipe geometrical dimension, pipe material properties and internal pressure, were selected to study their influences on the critical bending moment, critical compressive stress and critical compressive strain of pipes. Especially the hardening exponent of pipe material was introduced to the parameter analysis by using the Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. Results showed that geometrical dimensions, material and internal pressure can exert similar effects on the critical bending moment and critical compressive stress, which have different, even reverse effects on the critical compressive strain. Based on these analyses, more accurate design models of critical bending moment and critical compressive stress have been proposed for high-strength pipelines under bending conditions, which provide theoretical methods for highstrength pipeline engineering.

Structural Analysis of Floating Net Cage Bracket in Current and Wave

“…The local model bracket is cut at the end points of the left and right brackets. This is based on the requirements for pipe analysis, which must has a minimum length of four times [15] or six times the outer diameter of the pipe [16]. This determination is necessary to ensure that the local analytical model is not too rigid and remains subject to adequate deformation.…”

Impact of inter-particle collision on elbow erosion based on DSMC-CFD method

“…The particle sphericity was found to affect the contribution of key parameters, such as the impact frequency, velocity, and elbow angle, to the erosion rate. Li et al (2017) used the nonlinear finite element method (FEM) to study deformation behavior and different failure modes of unpressurized and pressurized pipes under bending conditions. Laín and Sommerfeld (2019) calculated erosion depth for two-and four-way coupling and for mono-sized spherical glass beads as well as a size distribution of particles.…”

Çelik Doğal Gaz Boruların Eğrilik Kapasitesi Üzerine Örnek Bir Çalışma: İstanbul Boğaz Geçişi

“…Bu yığılmalar nedeniyle meydana gelen boru cidarındaki büyük eğilmeler (çöküntü ve çıkıntılar) boruda çevresel çatlamalara ve sonunda da sızıntıların ortaya çıkmasına neden olurlar. Borularda lokal burkulma üzerine yapılan birçok çalışmanın yanı sıra önceden yapılmış olan laboratuvar testlerine dayanarak Hall ve Newmark (1977) bir boruda basınç nedeniyle ortaya çıkan yerel burkulmanın (𝜀𝜀 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 ), teorik değerin (𝜀𝜀 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑐𝑐𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ) 1/3 ile 1/4'ü kadar bir şekil değiştirme oranında başladığını ortaya koymuştur[10][11][12][13][14]. Buna göre t boru et kalınlığı ve R yarıçap olacak şekilde Eşitlik (5) ve Eşitlik (6) elde edilmiştir.…”
