Abstract: The geometric imperfections in high strength Uing, Oing and expanding (UOE) manufactured pipes are investigated in this paper using a highresolution 3D surface scanner, and a reverse engineering and inspection software. ...

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: The effects of the initial geometric imperfections on the buckling response of grade X100 UOE manufactured pipes are studied through finite element analysis (FEA). The initial geometric imperfections had been previously ...

Abstract: Pipelines used to transport oil and gas products are often subjected to external forces during its construction or operation, which can result in the formation of dents in the pipe. Various pipeline codes have stipulations ...

Abstract: The structural integrity of underground pipelines are subject to a major threat from permanent ground displacements when they cross active tectonic (e.g., strike-slip) faults, because of large strains potentially induced ...

Abstract: Train-mounted vertical track deflection (VTD) measurements offer new opportunities for estimating rail bending stresses over long distances. The estimations are possible because of mathematical correlations among rail ...
