Influence of Suspension Length on the Mechanical Response of Submarine Flexible Pipe under Internal Pressure and Transverse Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the actual structure of submarine flexible pipe, considering the combined effect of internal pressure and transverse load by wave-current flow that is based on 50 year return period wave statistics data of Cheng Dao sea area, ANSYS finite element model of flexible pipe is established. The influence of internal pressure and suspension length on the axial stress of steel wire reinforcement layer and the Mises stress of rubber layer was analyzed. Comparatively, suspension is the main cause for the failure of steel submarine pipeline, but could hardly lead to the failure of submarine flexible pipe, which shows that flexible pipe is stronger applicable for submarine pipeline.
