In this present study, an improved theoretical model is developed to analyze the manufacturing process of a mechanically lined corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) pipe by a hydraulic expansion. The formula of the relationship between the applied hydraulic pressure and the resulting residual interfacial pressure between the inner liner and outer pipes for the mechanically lined CRA pipe is obtained. The minimum and maximum critical hydraulic pressures are also investigated and an effective forming pressure ranges is found. A 2D axisymmetric finite-element model is built in abaqus™ to simulate the mechanically lined CRA pipe during the hydraulic expansion manufacturing process. The analytical and simulation results are compared with the experimental results found in the literature, which reveals that the theoretically calculated residual contact pressure and the finite-element computed results are in good accord with the experimental results. Therefore, the models built in this paper can be applied in actual manufacturing process of mechanically lined CRA pipes.

As an economical alternative to solid corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) and clad pipes, mechanically lined or sleeved CRA pipes are proven to be effective in the transport of corrosive fluids in oil and gas industry. A major issue with these pipes is that pressure drop or fluctuations may cause buckling of the liner, resulting in irreparable and costly damage. This issue should be resolved in order to fully implement this type of pipes in oil and gas industry. In this study, post-buckling analysis of liner pipe encased in carbon steel outer pipe is carried out following the hydraulic expansion manufacturing process. Commercially available abaqus finite element software is employed. The proposed model is partly verified with an analytical solution and other numerical results under the condition of no residual contact pressure. Results of the parametric study reveal that increasing the residual contact pressure and decreasing the magnitude of geometric imperfection can both contribute to enhancing the buckling resistance.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract During vehicle braking and cornering, the tire's footprint region may see high normal contact pressures and in-plane shear stresses. The corresponding resultant forces and moments are transferred to the wheel. The optimal design of the tire bead area and the wheel requires a detailed knowledge of the contact pressure and shear stress distributions at the tire/rim interface. In this study, the forces and moments obtained from the simulation of a vehicle in stationary braking/cornering conditions are applied to a quasi-static braking/cornering tire finite element model. Detailed contact pressure and shear stress distributions at the tire/rim interface are computed for heavy braking and cornering maneuvers.
