Application of a finite element method to stress distribution in buried patch repaired polyethylene gas pipes
Advantages of polyethylene pipes over traditional steel or metal pipes have increased industry interest in the use of polyethylene (PE) pipelines for underground applications and especially in gas distribution networks. In this study, finite element analysis is used to calculate the stress distribut...
