The present paper presents the analysis, carried out by the Ocensa pipeline, against a case of longitudinal or axial landslide to the pipeline in the KM 35 + 690, starting from the identification by inertial tool, the geotechnical characterization and the analysis of Soil-pipe interaction, excavation and stress relief and the techniques used to mitigate the effects of sliding on the pipe.

This work is part of a multidisciplinary project developing design and manufacturing methods for narrow-gauge surgical instruments intended for advanced minimally invasive surgery. The instruments are designed specifically for Penn State’s lost mold rapid infiltration forming process, which is capable of fabricating hundreds of freestanding meso-scale parts. In previous work, a 1 mm diameter forceps case study demonstrated the design and fabrication process. The forceps is a monolithic compliant mechanism (CM) that relies on contact to re-distribute maximum stresses to generate larger elastic tip deflections; a phenomenon defined here as contact stress-relief. Prototypes were developed and evaluated in an end user surgical simulator. Feedback from 11 clinicians identified the total jaw opening of the forceps must be increased in the next generation of prototypes. This paper focuses on exploiting the benefits of contact-aided compliant mechanism (CCM) design to obtain larger elastic tip deflections and thus jaw openings. Using the commercially available finite element software package ANSYS to model large deformation and contact, an optimization problem is developed to determine the effects of incorporating additional contact elements in a CCM design on maximizing elastic tip deflection. Results show that designs with multiple contact elements generate larger elastic tip deflections due to a multi-stage contact stress-relief profile.

This study presents a case study investigation on failure analysis of drill pipe during the drilling operation and to establish a general understanding of fatigue failure with experiments and several tests. Drill pipe load comprises tensile, compression, bending, hydrostatic pressure and vibration, which causes damage due to fatigue failure to the drill pipe. The method involves subjecting a 2 in length and nominal diameter 3.25 in connection NC50 19.5 ppf drill pipe to predetermined caused failure by experimental tests and analysis. Mechanical examination such as tensile test and hardness test, and metallurgical examination such as spectrometry, fractography, SEM and EDX testing are conducted. The result shows that the cause of failure on the thread drill pipe was due to fatigue failure. It showed by the presence of microcracks, which accumulated from the load in the drill pipe. In addition, propagation of the crack at critical depth resulting in failure during drilling operations.
