This paper presents a maintenance model for optimal planning of pipeline network
inspections subjected to corrosion and residual stress. The proposed model includes …

Corrosion is one of the main causes of pipeline failure, which can have large social,
economic, and environmental consequences. To mitigate this risk, pipeline operators …

A large portion of natural gas is transferred through transmission pipelines. For these
facilities, in the United States, external corrosion has led to more than 1700 failures in the …

Integrity maintenance of the aging hydrocarbon pipeline is a prime concern for transmission
companies. With the variety of existing pipeline inspection and protection approaches and …

In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach to find the optimal inspection interval for a
petroleum pipeline that is subject to long-term corrosion failure. The approach accounts for …

This paper proposes a data-driven approach in determining an optimal inspection interval
for a petroleum pipeline system. The approach accounts for the determination of both the …

The increasing number of corrosion-based incidents in pipeline systems within recent
decades has encouraged decision makers to focus on predicting when pipelines will fail …

The optimal inspection planning of pipelines is mandatory for safe and economical
operation under degradation processes, particularly corrosion induced by soil and …

The integrity of aging pipeline systems is a major concern for operating companies. Because
maintenance budgets are limited by economic constraints, operators must decide on how to …

Engineering systems are subject to deterioration processes, such as corrosion and fatigue,
which reduce the resistance to failure. If failure occurs, it can have large social, economic …
