Abstract: An overview of the mechanical behavior of steel pipe (elbows) is offered, based on previously reported analytical solutions, numerical results, and experimental data. The behavior of pipe bends is characterized by significant ...

Abstract: The effects of manufacturing process on mechanically lined pipe structural performance are investigated. Alternative manufacturing processes are considered, associated with either purely hydraulic or thermo-hydraulic ...

Abstract: In the course of our study, we examined several parameters that affect buckling behavior of confined thinwalled cylindrical shells. Nevertheless, a few additional parameters are stated by Prof. Gresnigt, namely residual ...

Abstract: Motivated by practical engineering applications, the present paper examines the mechanical response of thinwalled cylinders surrounded by a rigid or deformable medium, subjected to uniform external pressure. Emphasis is ...

Abstract: The present paper examines the structural behavior of elongated steel hollow cylinders, referred to as tubes or pipes, subjected to large cyclic bending, through a rigorous finite element simulation. The bent cylinders ...

Abstract: The present study examines the mechanical behavior of steel process piping elbows, subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. The work is numerical, supported by experimental data on elbow specimens subjected to inplane ...

Abstract: Motivated by the response of industrial piping under seismic loading conditions, the present study examines the behavior of steel process piping elbows, subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. A set of experiments ...

Abstract: In order to ensure safe operation and structural integrity of pipelines and piping systems subjected to extreme loading conditions, it is often necessary to strengthen critical pipe components. One method to strengthen ...

Abstract: In this paper, performance criteria for the seismic design of industrial liquid storage tanks and piping systems are proposed, aimed at introducing those industrial components into a performance-based design (PBD) framework. ...

Abstract: This paper explores the performance of a 10 MW offshore wind turbine (OWT) supported either on a large diameter monopile or a 4-legged jacket emphasizing on the nonlinear response of its belowseabed foundation. The seabed ...
