Integrity and Fracture Response of Offshore Pipelines Subject to Large Plastic Strains
Steel pipelines are widely used in offshore oil/gas facilities. To achieve economically feasible designs, regulatory codes permit utilization of the pipelines well past their elastic response limit. This requires thorough integrity check of the pipeline subject to large scale yielding (LSY). Enginee...
