Abstract: Slip-on buckle arrestors for offshore pipelines offer important advantages over other arrestor designs as they do not require welding. An additional advantage offered by the related concept of the two-part clamp-on arrestor ...

Abstract: Circular tubes compressed into the plastic range first buckle into axisymmetric wrinkling. Initially, the wrinkle amplitude grows with increasing load, but induces a gradual reduction in axial ...

Abstract: The compressive response of many foams is characterized by an initial linearly elastic regime which is terminated by instability. For open cell foams instability leads to localized buckling and ...

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 ...
