Abstract: The angled crack problem has been given special attention in the recent years by fracture mechanics investigators due to its close proximity to realistic conditions in engineering structures. ...

Abstract: The reeling technique presents an economical pipeline installation method for offshore oil and gas applications, especially for thick-wall (low D/t) pipelines. During reeling, the pipe is subjected ...

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to develop numerical modeling procedures to simulate and study the effect of girth weld induced residual stresses and geometric imperfections on the behavior ...

Abstract: Novel data obtained through experimental investigation into the fatigue response of 350WT steel, subjected to semi-random loading, comprised of various combinations of intermittent tensile overloads ...

Abstract: The use of composite materials for repair and rehabilitation of corroded steel pipes has been increasingly growing in the oil and gas industry. However, there exists a noticeable gap in the ...
