Interaction Relationship for High Aspect Ratio Semi-Elliptical Internal Surface Cracks in CO2 Pipelines

Article Preview

Abstract:

Surface cracks with aspect ratio can occur in pipelines subjected to corrosion attacks. There are few studies on interaction relationship for double semi-elliptical surface cracks with such high aspect ratio. This paper attempts to develop a finite element method to determine on interaction of two semi-elliptical internal surface cracks with high aspect ratio by analyzing two key fracture mechanics parameters, i.e., the stress intensity factor and the-stress. The numerical results prove that the existing flaw-interaction criteria are too general to lose the worthy of application especially in pipeline engineering.
