Shallow and insufficient soil support may lead to upheaval buckling of heated pipelines in shore approach areas. This article presents a numerical model to simulate the thermomechanical buckling of ...

A modification to the Safebuck joint industry project's V/S u D dimensionless parameter to account for the effect of pipe buoyancy due to soil weight, especially for pipes of deeper initial ...

Long subsea pipelines, never laid in a perfectly straight line to begin with, tend to move over time. It’s a problem exacerbated by the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions in which pipelines ...

Buried pipelines are critical infrastructure that underpin global energy and resource distribution networks. Their structural integrity is continually challenged by geohazards, ranging from gradual ...

Pipe-soil interaction is a crucial problem in the global buckling design of submarine pipeline under thermal stresses. Soil resistance acting on the pipelines determines the deformation shape and ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
