Abstract: Buried pipelines may be corroded, despite the use of corrosion control measures such as protective coatings and cathodic protection, and buried pipelines may be deformed due to earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to ...

Abstract: The structural strength of buried pipeline may be reduced by local wall thinning owing to corrosion in long-term operations. In seismic active area, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of buried pipeline with wall ...

Abstract: During seismic events, buried pipelines are subjected to deformation by seismic ground motion. In such cases, it is important to ensure the integrity of the pipeline. Both beammode and shellmode buckling may occur in the ...

Abstract: A dynamic finite element analysis method was proposed for calculating the dynamic stress intensity factors for pipes during crack propagation. The proposed method can directly calculate the stress intensity factors without ...

Abstract: A constraint loss correction procedure using the Weibull stress criterion is specified in ISO 27306. However, this standard is applicable only to structural steel components with defects, not to welded joints. Therefore, ...
