Finite-Element Analysis of Buckle Propagation in Offshore Pipelines

Article Preview

Abstract:

The buckle propagation phenomenon in offshore pipelines is an important subject of ocean engineering. The local buckling will easily propagate along the pipeline if the external hydrostatic pressure is high enough. The buckle propagation will seriously hinder the transmission of the oil. This paper focuses on the numerical calculation of buckle propagation pressure using ABAQUS software.
