Pipelines are one of the most important and key elements that align with transferring hydrocarbon products in coastal and offshore industries which are exposed at various risks during their servicing. In this project, we are studding and describing free spanning of marine pipeline based on DNVGL-RP-F-105 regulation applying the finite element method by Abaqus software. For modeling, case studies of Gorze to Kish oil pipeline have been used. In order to provide and study the integrity of the structure against fatigue, the exact place as well as the free span length using software under environmental loading based on DNVGL-RP-F205 has been determined. Since based on DNVGL-TS-F101 free span causes local buckling, fatigue, and pipe burst then given to the servicing as well as environmental conditions, pipe condition has been monitored. Finally, using sensitivity analysis, the effect of different soil classes, elasticity module, and temperature on the pipe condition has been studied. At the end, the question if it is allowed to use a cross model for bed has been answered in previous studies.

The article discusses some of the issues associated with the use of topology optimization in shaping of the strength of castings. This kind of optimization is performed in the preliminary design phase, when the shape of the constructed part is not yet defined. The limitations that apply to the designing process concern the dimensions, boundary conditions, loads, forces, and cooperation with other structural elements. Topology optimization determines the arrangement of the material in space, so that under the conditions of loads, exploitation, and the design assumptions, the construction will have smallest possible weight. The article presents a few methods of optimization and provides simple examples. The computer calculations were carried out based on, the Finite Element Method (the Abaqus software), and the authors’ subroutines optimization algorithm that uses the results obtained in FEM. The example of the method to optimize the shape of mine shaft tubing is presented. The verification of the casting technology was conducted in MAGMASoft, taking into account the influence of the topology optimization on the production possibilities.

This paper presents analytical studies using Eigenvalue buckling analysis in the Finite Element Method to determine shear buckling and subsequently determine shear resistance of thin plated member with trapezoidal corrugated web. The result is compared with experimental results. It is found that the proposed equations give good agreement to the experimental results. However, the buckling coefficient k is still not generate a good shear stress based on its slenderness ratio hw/tw.

The pipelines distribute extensively in China, but pipelines cracks caused pipeline damaged frequently. Once the pipeline’s cracks are considered in the seismic condition, the performance of pipelines will face many problems. The finite element method was used to analyze the seismic responses of pipeline’s cracks. According to fracture mechanics [1], the time-history responses of displacement, acceleration and stress of pipeline with crack defects and seamless pipeline were obtained, and the results were also compared and analyzed. The results indicate that cracks will cause the stress concentration of the pipeline, the pipeline cracks should be considered in seismic responses of pipelines to make the pipelines in safety and economy, and more attention should be paid to the design and study of pipelines with crack defects.

Steel storage rack structures have always been the mainly used type of those cold-formed thin-walled steel elements. Recently, it becomes more important to study its stability and bearing capacity. This paper selects a typical type of rack column-channel column and performs lots of analyzing work about overall buckling, local buckling and distortional buckling of perforated columns with different openings by using the finite element method.

RESUMO: Este trabalho avaliou o desempenho relativo de perfis de alma senoidal quando comparados aos perfis de alma plana através do estudo numérico da flambagem local em mesas (FLM) de barras submetidas à compressão axial. Para a realização deste estudo foram discretizados dois modelos via Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF) com o emprego do programa ABAQUS®. A metodologia numérica baseou-se em realizar análise de carga crítica de flambagem local, mantendo-se fixo os valores de largura de mesas, espessura e altura de alma para cada perfil e alterar gradativamente a espessura das mesas, sendo possível atingir vários resultados de tensão crítica para cada esbeltez, definindo-se a curva tensão versus esbeltez da fase elástica. A partir dos resultados numéricos obtidos foi possível realizar a parametrização analítica com as prescrições da norma ABNT NBR 8800:2008 e fazer uma proposição de metodologia de cálculo para os parâmetros de esbeltez das mesas. Posteriormente, realizaram-se comparativos entre o desempenho dos perfis de alma senoidal e o dos perfis de alma plana. Os resultados numéricos mostraram que o desempenho de um perfil de alma senoidal pode ser até 8% mais eficiente que o dos perfis de alma plana, no que tange a possibilidade de colapso do perfil sem a ocorrência de FLM quando submetidos à compressão axial.ABSTRACT: This work evaluated the relative performance of sinusoidal web profiles through the numerical study of flange local buckling (FLB) for simple bars under compressive strength, when compared to flat web profiles. For this study, two models were discretized using the Finite Element Method (FEM) through the ABAQUS® program. The numerical methodology was based on Buckle analysis, maintaining the values of table width, web thickness and web height for each profile and gradually changing the thickness of the flanges, this way was possible to reach several results of critical tension for each slenderness, being defined the curve of the elastic phase. From the numerical results obtained it was possible to perform the analytical parameterization with the norm ABNT NBR8800:2008 and to make a proposition of calculation for the parameters of slenderness that limit each buckling modes of the flanges. Considering these results, comparisons were made between the performance of the sinusoidal web profiles and those from the flat web profiles. The numerical results showed that the performance of a sinusoidal web profile can be up to 8% more efficient than flat soul profiles, regarding the possibility of collapse of the structure without the occurrence of FLB when subjected under compressive strength.

Abstract The study presents an analysis of steel I-beam warping. The calculations were made for hot-rolled IPE200 hinged beams with different lengths. After determining load-bearing capacity using the GMNIA method, the beams were strengthened with bimoment restraints at each end. The changes in critical moment and load-bearing capacity were then evaluated. The study presents the manner in which the material and geometric imperfections have been determined. The GMNIA calculations were conducted using the Finite Element Method in Abaqus software. The results were then compared to results obtained with traditional methods and acquired from LT Beam software.

Progressive failure analysis based on the complete unloading method was conducted to investigate the crippling failure of carbon/epoxy composite stiffeners under axial compression. A modified arc-length algorithm was incorporated into a nonlinear finite element method to trace the equilibrium path after local buckling. For the validation of the finite element method, several carbon/epoxy Z-section stiffeners were tested in compression. The finite element results on the buckling and crippling stresses showed good agreement with the experimental results.
