Numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth (FCG) is presented, based on the application of
the extended finite element method (XFEM). Couple of case studies are presented, as a …

Corrosion defects in steel pipes can lead to pipeline failure, and such failures can have
severe impacts; thus, developing appropriate corrosion mitigation schemes to prevent them …

Corrosive marine environment has negative impact on welded steel structures, so it is
necessary to investigate the effect of sea exposure on such materials. This research …

Experimental investigation of the integrity of casing pipes, used in the oil drilling rigs,
withdrawn after about 70,000 h of service, has been conducted, together with numerical …

Crack defects in mitred bends seriously affect the structural safety of steel pipelines.
Therefore, particular attention should be paid to fracture failure of mitred bends due to stress …

The pipelines for oil and gas transportation are generally laid along a straight route to avoid
the complexity of pipe bending. However, changing of pipe alignment is sometimes …

This paper proposes a digital twin method based on multi-source crack growth prediction
data fusion. In this method, two different prediction methods based on theoretical model …

For a long time, cracked structures have triggered various researchers to develop a
structural integrity approach and design models to address the fracture problems. In the …

Corrosion effects on structural integrity and life of oil rig welded pipes are analysed by
experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. Experiments were performed using …

Risk based approach to assess structural integrity and life of pressure vessel has been
presented, starring from EU PED 2014/68 and API 581, ending with use of basic fracture …
