Local Buckling Response of Pipe

Onshore and offshore pipe systems may be subject to loading events that result in

mechanical response exceeding the material strength. There are technical and economic

incentives for developing non-conventional, higher strength materials for use in long

distance, large diameter and high pressure transmission pipeline systems. There exists

uncertainty on the key factors influencing the mechanical response of these materials in

pipe systems subject to large deformation loading events. This study will develop an

analytical tool that can be used to assess the pipe mechanical integrity. Functional

relationships will be developed to characterize the pipe strength and deformation

resistance that can be used by design engineering to develop practical and economic

solutions.
