Highly pressurized pipelines crossing harsh environments need to have two chief materials properties; they should have high strength in transverse direction to resist high operating pressers; and high deformability in the longitudinal direction to accommodate externally induced deformations. Pipeline producers try to deal with this dual demand in their high strength steel (HSS) linepipe products by enhancing the yield strength in the transverse direction and maintaining deformability in the longitudinal direction. This practice results in significant level of anisotropy in yielding and early plastic regions. The effects of material anisotropy on complex pipeline limit states such as local bucking is not fully understood. This paper presents the results of a numerical study on the effects of material anisotropy on the buckling response of HSS pipes. The effects of operating pressure, diameter-to-thickness ratio, material grade, strain hardening and the ratio of longitudinal-to-transversal yield strength were taken into account. Combined (isotropic-kinematic) hardening material modeling technique — previously introduced by the authors — was employed in this study. The results of this study are presented in several graphs showing the variation of the critical buckling strain versus the level of material anisotropy of HSS pipes with different geometry, material and operation conditions. These results provide an insight into the effects of material properties on the buckling resistance of pipes, especially when anisotropy is present.

Deformation Response

The material model proposed in Part I (Neupane et al., 2012, “Modeling the Deformation Response of High Strength Steel Pipelines—Part I: Material Characterization to Model the Plastic Anisotropy,” ASME J. Appl. Mech., 79, p. 051002) is used to study the deformation response of high strength steel. The response of pipes subjected to frost upheaval at a particular point is studied using an assembly of pipe elements, while buckling of pipes is examined using shell elements. The deformation response is obtained using two different material models. The two different material models used were the isotropic hardening material model and the combined kinematic hardening material model. Two sets of material stress-strain data were used for the isotropic hardening material model; data obtained from the longitudinal direction tests and data obtained from the circumferential direction tests. The combined kinematic hardening material model was calibrated to provide an accurate prediction of the stress-strain behavior in both the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction. The deformation response of a pipe model using the three different material data sets was studied. The sensitivity of the response of pipelines to the choice of a material model and the material data set is studied for the frost upheaval and local buckling.

Buried line pipe are often subjected to compressive and/or bending loads at locations of ground movements. Those loads might increase the strain of the pipe at some location beyond a critical value and thus a buckle is formed on the pipe wall. Finite element modeling is an excellent numerical technique that can predict the values of the critical strains that a pipe can withstand before buckling. However, these numerical models require an accurate representation of the spatial material behaviour. Tensile specimens taken from the longitudinal and the transverse directions of a line pipe formed using the UOE process often exhibit different behaviour. Finite Element Models of buckling of line pipe often use the tensile properties exhibited by longitudinal specimens without taking into consideration the effect of the different behaviour in the transverse direction. In order to investigate the effect of the forming process a finite element model of forming a plate into a pipe was analyzed. The model was analyzed twice, once with isotropic hardening material properties and the other with kinematic hardening material properties with a constant size for the yield surface. The behaviour under tensile loading of the formed pipe in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction were quite different between the two models. The results show that the kinematic hardening material model can predict the difference in the tensile properties often seen between specimens taken from the longitudinal versus the transverse direction of the pipe. The material model is extended further to model the buckling of line pipe. The results show that the buckling of line pipes is dependent on the behaviour of the pipe in both the longitudinal and the transverse direction.

Compared with pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), water hydraulic artificial muscles (WHAMs) have the advantages of high force/weight ratio, high stiffness, rapid response speed, large operating pressure range, low working noise, etc. Although the physical models of PAMs have been widely studied, the model of WHAMs still need to be researched for the different structure parameters and work conditions between PAMs and WHAMs. Therefore, the geometry and the material properties need to be considered in models, including the wall thickness of rubber tube, the geometry of ends, the elastic force of rubber tube, the elongation of fibers, and the friction among fiber strands. WHAMs with different wall thickness and fiber materials were manufactured, and static characteristic experiments were performed when the actuator is static and fixed on both ends, which reflects the relationship between contraction force and pressure under the different contraction ratio. The deviations between theoretical values and experimental results were analyzed to investigate the effect of each physical factor on the modified physical model accuracy at different operating pressures. The results show the relative error of the modified physical model was 7.1% and the relative error of the ideal model was 17.4%. When contraction ratio is below 10% and operating pressure is 4 MPa, the wall thickness of rubber tube was the strongest factor on the accuracy of modified model. When the WHAM contraction ratio from 3% to 20%, the relative error between the modified physical model and the experimental data was within ±10%. Considering the various physical factors, the accuracy of the modified physical model of WHAM is improved, which lays a foundation of non-linear control of the high-strength, tightly fiber-braided and thick-walled WHAMs.

The use of new developed high-strength steel in concrete members can reduce steel bars congestion and construction costs. This research aims to study the behavior of concrete columns reinforced with new developed high-strength steel under eccentric loading. Ten reinforced concrete columns were fabricated and tested. The test variables are transverse reinforcement amount and yield strength, eccentricity, and longitudinal reinforcement yield strength. The failure patterns are compression and tensile failure for columns subjected to small eccentricity and large eccentricity, respectively. The same level of post-peak deformability and ductility only can be obtained with lower amount of transverse reinforcement when high-strength transverse reinforcements are used in columns subjected to small eccentricity. The high-strength longitudinal reinforcement can improve bearing capacity and post-peak deformability of concrete columns. Besides, three different equivalent rectangular stress block (ERSB) parameters in predicting bearing capacity of columns with high-strength steel were discussed based on test and simulated results. It is concluded that the Code of GB 50010-2010 overestimates the bearing capacity of columns with high-strength steel, whereas bearing capacities computed using Codes of ACI 318-14 and CSA A23.3-04 agree well with test results.
