This paper explores the use of solid continuum finite elements and shell finite elements in
the modelling of the nonlinear plastic buckling behaviour of cylindrical metal tubes and …

The influences of different shape, size and number of lateral cutouts at various locations on
the load-bearing capacity, buckling behaviour and energy absorption (E abs) characteristics …

Many thin-walled cylindrical shells are used in structural applications in which the dominant
loading condition is global bending. Key examples include chimneys, wind turbine support …

Dent is a common geometric deformation defect on oil and gas pipelines. Compared with
plain dent, composite dent has a greater impact on the pipe's load-bearing capacity. There …

The mechanically lined pipe, which consists of a carbon steel carrier and a thin-walled
corrosion-resistant alloy liner, has proved to be a practical way to prevent the pipeline from …

Current structural steel design codes typically feature a step in the cross-sectional resistance
functions at the Class 2 slenderness limit due to the abrupt switch between elastic and fully …

This work investigated the local buckling failure of high-strength and large-diameter
pipelines containing a dent under bending moment. An improved three-dimensional …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study in which for the first time the
progressive inelastic deformation of high strength steel pressurized pipes with plain and …

A dent is a typical defect found in oil and gas pipelines and poses a significant threat to their
safety and integrity. In this study, the buckling behavior and limit strain capacity of pipelines …

The resistance of cylindrical shells and tubes under uniform bending has received
significant research attention in recent times, with a number of major projects aiming to …
