Abstract: Rupture of steel pipelines leads to the loss-of-containment that may be accompanied with loss of life or damage to property and environment. Therefore, the understanding of the fracture characteristics of steel grades used ...

Abstract: In service pipelines exhibit bending loads in a variety of in-field situation. These bending loads can induce large longitudinal strains, which may trigger local buckling on the pipe's compressive side and/or lead to rupture ...
