Finite Element-based Stress Intensity Factor Estimation for Fatigue Crack Growth Simulation and Stochastic Filtering-based Fatigue Crack Growth Prediction of Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2022
Fatigue cracking is one of the major integrity threats to oil and gas pipelines. Having a reliable trajectory of fatigue crack growth once detected is very crucial for decision making regarding integrity threat management. In-line Inspection (ILI) tools, and other non-destructive methods are used...
