The Study on Damage Failure of Pipeline under Flood Using Entropy Identification Method

Abstract:

The buried pipeline will be spanning and subject to dynamic load under flooding, which may induce a damage failure of pipeline. In this paper, a mechanical analysis model of spanning pipelines is established under different levels of flood load. The mechanical response and the information entropy based on strain energy of the pipeline are calculated through global analytical searching method. In addition, the recognition of damage failure of pipeline is achieved according to the value of strain energy entropy of pipeline under different flood levels. The study shows that the strain energy entropy varies with the change of deformation reflects the damage failure feature of pipeline well, which can be used as a new method to identify the failure of pipeline.
