... they diminish in higher strains. Out of the many material models investigated, eight (8) material models are presented in this paper as they produced the closest results and they can be used to illustrate the impact on the strain and stress results, and thus, integrity assessment of the dented pipe...

... to mechanical damage ( 2 ). Therefore, this issue is of extreme importance to pipeline operators, government and regulatory agencies, and local communities. As mechanical damage can occur during the course of pipeline life due to many reasons, appropriate tools and procedures for integrity assessment...

... Failure Pipeline Weld Joint Unequal Wall Integrity Assessment Pipeline construction often involves situations where two components with unequal wall thickness and different material properties must be joined together, as occurs in joining line pipes and fittings. The line pipe in a transition...
