Solutions to Lateral Critical Buckling Force of Pipeline Based on Energy Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The discovery from in-situ survey and experimental tests shows that globally lateral buckling for submarine pipeline laid on even seabed subject to high temperature and high pressure can easily take place. Critical buckling force is very important for pipeline design. Critical axial compressive forces of lateral buckling mode 1 and mode 2 of flexible pipeline without initial imperfection are derived based on energy method. The comparison of the results from energy method and Hobbs’s method is carried out, which can be used for engineering design.
