Fall 2015
Pipeline structures can be subjected to excessive tensile strains due to a variety of environmental agents including but not limited to slope instabilities, seismic forces, freezing and thawing cycle of the permafrost in arctic regions. In addition to environmental and geotechnical effects, large...

The Strain-based Approach to Predict the Initiation and Propagation of the Crack for the Vintage Pipeline Materials Using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM)
DownloadFall 2021
Vintage pipelines are widely used in the transmission of gas and oil in North America. They are subject to varieties of loading conditions, especially in aggressive environments in arctic region. Displacement-controlled loads lead to severe longitudinal plastic strain and consequently failure in...
