The accurate burst pressure prediction of pipelines with corrosion defects is important to
provide a suitable design of water, oil, and gas pipes networks. Generally, the empirical …

Carbon capture and storage could significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
One of the major limitations of this technology is the energy penalty for the compression of …

In this paper, an algorithm with a new sensitivity vector for reliability analysis is presented in
reliability analysis. The sensitivity vector is computed using the conjugate gradient vector of …

This paper investigates the rupture of thin-walled ductile cylinders with isolated corrosion
defects, subject only to internal pressure. It aims to propose a new solution for predicting the …

In this research, burst tests were conducted on real-scale elbow specimens, each with an
artificial local wall-thinning defect, under combined internal pressure and constant in-plane …

The safety assessment of pipes with multiple local wall thinning defects (LWTs) is
systematically investigated by finite element analyses (FEA) with special attention to the …

Fit for service (FFS) assessment of Steam Generator Tube (SGT) plays a key role in safety
operating of Pressurized Water Reactors. Engineering practices have emerged probabilistic …

This paper presents a review of technical reports available for the structural assessment of
pipe bends. Compared with smooth bends, the volume of literature available for joint bents …

The main target of the current study is the assessment of API 5L X52 pipe line containing
lack of penetration and undercut welding defects and to study the influence of the defect …

One of the most significant current discussions in fluid transport industry is how to prolong
the service life of a metallic pipeline system under severe physical and chemical conditions …
