Abstract: Analytical solutions for the lateral buckling of pipelines exist for the case when the pipe material remains in the linearly elastic range. However for truly high temperatures and/or heavier ...

Abstract: Triggering lateral buckles in subsea pipelines can be an effective way to ensure that the thermal expansion is spread over several buckles at a controlled spacing, rather than concentrating in a single buckle that may ...

Abstract: An attempt at modeling the so‐called “beam mode buckling” exhibited under compression in pipelines is presented. The line is modeled as a long heavy beam on a contacting surface. The reacting surface is modeled first as ...
