This study pays attention to the ductile fracture of X80 pipeline steel using both experimental
and numerical approaches. First, nineteen experimental cases are tested, consisting of the …

The pipeline is prone to collapse under the combined external pressure and multiple
corrosion defects. Experiments of the full-scale pipelines with longitudinally …

The subsea pipeline is prone to corrosion due to the combined influence of a complex
environment and internal fluid. The corrosion defect results in the local thinning of the wall …

Affected by a complex environment, corrosion is a common defect in steel pipelines.
Moreover, steel pipelines are subjected to large axial forces during their installation and …

To enable rapid fatigue assessment of welded joints containing misalignment, the
quantitative relationships between the acceptance level of misalignment and the fatigue …

In this study, the wind buckling capacity of an open-topped steel tank with harmonic
settlement-induced imperfection is numerically investigated. Although the single effect of the …

In this study, fatigue assessment of cracked pipes with weld misalignment is carried out by
using fracture mechanics approach. Two types of weld misalignment, viz., centreline offset …

In this study, the Void Growth Model (VGM) is employed to predict the ductile fracture of X80
pipeline steel. The X80 pipeline tends to be applied in challenging scenarios, such as …

The load-carrying cruciform welded joint usually fails in the weld root or the weld toe.
Determining the failure location in terms of the stress intensity factor (SIF) of the crack at the …

The study focuses on the stress intensity correction factor (M k) for internal surface cracks
located at the girth pipe root toe. To assess the impact of various parameters on M k, three …
