Composite pipelines carboxyl presence the damage by two defects, under the bending moment M = 1rd ,and various internal pressure (P = 40bar, P = 60bar, P = 80bar) is studied in this work. Using the HASHIN criterion, a numerical prediction through the calculation code ABAQUS took the objective of evaluating the damage by interaction effect between two defects. The results presented by evaluative curves of correlation between the moment to the damage and the parameters of orientation and location of the defects. The interaction effect of defects on damage was conditioned by their locations along the pipeline surface. The results obtained show a strong influence of the defects on the level and the mode of failure as well as their response until the damage.

The pipes, during their service, are subjected to accumulated loads such as internal pressure and that of the soil. The latter considerably accelerate their damage. In this work, the bending moment stress of API 5L X70 category steel elbows under thermo-mechanical behavior and in the presence of pressure were studied. We used FEM (finite element method) through the numerical calculation code ABAQUS and the XFEM technique for structural damage while using solid elements as a structure. Our objective is to evaluate the response and resistance capacity of the steel elbow by its location in the tube–elbow-tube system under a mixed loading of pressure and moment for all scenarios. It is based on a single standardized dimensioning of the elbow (diameter and thickness). The effect of several parameters has been studied such as the type of loading and the pressure levels, which are clearly conditioned by the level of damage. Numerical damage results are presented by moment-rotation curves. They illustrate the variation in damage as a function of these effects which act simultaneously.

A study has been performed to better understand ultimate bending moment and strain capacities of pipelines in relation to criteria defined in the design codes. An 18″ HPHT flowline was designed to undergo global buckling on uneven seabed and to resist trawl gear interference. The high temperature (155 degC) and pressure (300 bar) posed considerable design challenges for material selection and design criteria. A CRA-lined X60 CMn pipeline was selected for the project. The pipeline was of seamless manufacture for which the stress/strain characteristics are subject to the effect of Lüders bands. The DNV-OS-F101 code covers a wide range of D/t but does not specifically address Lüder’s material behaviour which could significantly reduce the bending moment capacity of pipe. The global buckling and trawl pull-over FE analysis results indicated the pipe was highly utilized, requiring excessive amounts of seabed intervention at great cost to meet the DNV LCC criteria. Detailed FE simulation of limit states for local buckling and strain localization of a 3D solid element pipe model was performed, with both Roundhouse and Lüders material properties, to investigate pipe capacity in relation to that stipulated by the design codes. The pipe moment capacity was established by obtaining the moment curvature relationship by bending the local pipe section subject to internal pressure until the maximum resistance was reached. Imperfections were introduced to initiate local buckling at the desired location. To determine strain concentration factors and strain localization, the effects of thickness changes and weld misalignment were also studied. The DNV OS-F101 LCC moment criterion formulation computes a decreasing moment capacity for increasing internal pressure. It has been suggested in the literature that this is correct for higher D/t but the criterion may be conservative for pipes with lower D/t. The combination of Lüders material with low D/t is not specifically addressed by any design code. Clarification of these aspects will provide a better understanding of the risk of failure for highly utilized seamless pipelines and allow for modified design criteria that will reduce seabed intervention costs. The results of the study showed that a higher bending moment criterion and associated strain criterion could be adopted for the design that allows for the higher initial strain caused by Lüder’s plateau. The ultimate bending moment capacity of low D/t pipe with Lüder’s material was found to be similar to that of Roundhouse material due to work hardening. In addition, it was demonstrated that the potential strength of the CRA liner could enhance the moment capacity of the seamless pipe.

Offshore pipelines operating in a harsh environment are usually subjected to combinations of bending moment and axial loadings in addition to internal pressure. Due to the corrosive media transported in the pipelines and corrosive substances within seawater and soil outside the pipelines, local corrosion defects will generate on the pipeline’s inner and outer walls, reducing its ultimate bearing capacity. This paper presents a series of full-scale failure tests and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) to study the bending capacity and failure mode of corroded pipelines with outside locally-thinned-areas (LTAs) subjected to combinations of internal pressure, axial compressive force and bending moment. The LTAs are loaded in compression to simulate corrosion. Material tests of API 5L X56 seamless pipe steel were conducted and the stress-strain relationship was obtained. FEA results of the moment versus curvature relation, bending capacity and local buckling behavior of each specimen model matched the experimental results very well, validating the accuracy of this simulation. Additional FEA is then performed to investigate the effect of corrosion geometric parameters, such as corrosion depth, corrosion width, and corrosion length, on the ultimate moment. Among them, the width is of the greatest impact, followed by is the depth, the length impact can be ignored.

Elastic-plastic finite element analysis has been carried out to evaluate collapse moments of six elbows with elbow factors varying from 0.24 to 0.6. The loading conditions of combined in-plane closing/opening bending moment and varying degree of internal pressure are considered in the analysis. For each case, collapse moment is obtained by twice elastic slope method from the moment versus end-rotation curve. Based on these results, two closed-form equations are proposed to evaluate the collapse moments of elbows under combined internal pressure and in-plane closing and opening bending moment.

The article contains the comparative results of the experimental and calculated research of the strength of a pipeline with such defects as “metal loss” and “dent with groove”. Two coils with diameter of 820 mm and the thickness of 9 mm of 19G steel were used for full-scale pipe sample production. One of the coils was intentionally damaged by machining, which resulted in “metal loss” defect, the other one was dented (by press machine) and got groove mark (by chisel). The testing of pipe samples was performed by applying static internal pressure to the moment of collapse. The calculation of deterioration pressure was carried out with the use of national and foreign methodical approaches. The calculated values of collapsing pressure for the pipe with loss of metal mainly coincided with the calculation experiment results based on Russian method and ASME B31G. In case of pipe with dent and groove the calculated value of collapsing pressure demonstrated greater coincidence with Russian method and to a lesser extent with API 579/ASME FFS-1. In whole, all calculation methods demonstrate sufficient stability of results, which provides reliable operation of pipelines with defects.

This study aimed to investigate the moment carrying behavior of typical Tibetan timber beam-column joints under monotonic vertical static load and also evaluate the influence of length ratio of Gongmu to beam (LRGB) and dowels layout on the structural performance of the joint. Six full-scale specimens were fabricated with same construction but different Gongmu length and dowels position. The moment carrying performance of beam-column joints in terms of failure mode, moment resistance, and rotational stiffness of joints were obtained via monotonic loading tests. Test results indicated that all joints are characterized by compressive failure perpendicular to grain of Ludou. Additionally, it was found that greater LRGB leads to greater initial rotational stiffness and maximum moment of the joint by an increase of restraint length for beam end; however, offsetting dowels toward column resulted smaller stiffness and ultimate bending moment of joints, particularly, offsetting Beam-Gongmu dowels toward column changed the moment-rotation curve pattern of the beam-column joint, accompanied by a hardening stiffness at last phase. Furthermore, a simplified trilinear model was proposed to represent the moment-rotation relationship of the typical Tibetan timber beam-column joint.

The present study aimed to study ratcheting strains of corroded stainless steel 304LN elbow pipes subjected to internal pressure and cyclic bending moment. To this aim, spherical and cubical shapes corrosion are applied at two depths of 1 mm and 2 mm in the critical points of elbow pipe such as symmetry sites at intrados, extrados, and crown positions. Then, a Duplex 2205 stainless steel elbow pipe is considered as an alternative to studying the impact of the pipe materials, due to its high corrosion resistance and strength, toughness, and most importantly, the high fatigue strength and other mechanical properties than stainless steel 304LN. In order to perform numerical analyzes, the hardening coefficients of the materials were calculated. The results highlight a significant relationship between the destructive effects of corrosion and the depth and shape of corrosion, so that as corrosion increases, the resulting destructive effects increases as well, also, the ratcheting strains in cubic corrosions have a higher growth rate than spherical corrosions. In addition, the growth rate of the ratcheting strains in the hoop direction is much higher across the studied sample than the axial direction. The highest growth rate of hoop strain was observed at crown and the highest growth rate of axial strains occurred at intrados position. Altogether, Duplex 2205 material has a better performance than SS 304LN.
