Fatigue crack growth investigation on offshore pipelines with three-dimensional interacting cracks

Fatigue crack growth investigation on offshore pipelines with three-dimensional interacting cracks

Due to high cost of full-scale experimental setup, this study presents a numerical model on fatigue behaviours of offshore pipeline with multiple coplanar cracks under cyclic tensile loadings. The validation on numerical results is made by other researchers' experimental results, and significan...
