A modification to the Safebuck joint industry project's V/S u D dimensionless parameter to account for the effect of pipe buoyancy due to soil weight, especially for pipes of deeper initial ...

Temperature, initial slope imperfections, and downward restraints on a pipeline all affect its propensity for upheaval buckling. A restrained pipeline is subject to compressive loads as the ...

Long subsea pipelines, never laid in a perfectly straight line to begin with, tend to move over time. It’s a problem exacerbated by the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions in which pipelines ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
