Abstract: The dynamic response of slender pipes to cyclic flexural excitations could be significantly influenced by the “membrane” stiffness of a beam axially restrained at the ends, where the magnitude ...

Abstract: At the beginning of the eighties, the offshore technology relevant to thermally insulated pipelines did not offer a cost-effective and technically challenging solution. Nowadays, the oil industry ...

Abstract: An international consensus on seismic design criteria for onshore pipelines has been established during the last 30 years. The need to assess seismic design for offshore pipelines has not been similarly recognized. The ...
