Abstract: This paper presents how finite-element analysis can be used as a tool to design aboveground wavy pipeline layouts in order to avoid any excessive lateral movements under normal operating conditions. The paper also presents ...

Abstract: The present paper studies the dynamics of submerged expanded elastic tubes due to postexpansion sudden mandrel release known as pop-out phenomenon. A mathematical model describing the dynamics ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model of post-expansion tube response under mechanical expansion. The stress, pressure, and displacement waves propagating through the tube-fluid system and their ...

Abstract: The theory of metal forming has been used to study the mechanical response of a solid tubular under radial plastic expansion. A mathematical model of an expanded thin walled tube under ...

Abstract: The present paper studies the effect of mandrel pop out on the dynamics of a solid tubular submerged in fluids of a typical vertical wellbore. A mathematical model describing the stress and ...

Abstract: The expansion process subjects a solid tubular to large plastic deformations leading to variations in tubular thickness and length, which may result in premature and unexpected failures. It was ...
