... part is built to carry out the detailed analysis on the contact pressure. The influences of seal axial compression, rubber hardness and axial seal gap on the sealing pressure are analyzed. Simulation results show that with the increase of axial compression, the contact pressure of the sealing surface...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel axial compression test rig that simulates the combined cyclic axial compression and bending of subsea power cables and umbilicals during installation. The test sample is installed in the test rig in such a way that one end is connected to a vertical...

... ABSTRACT Nineteen mild steel cylindrical shells with non-uniform axial length were manufactured and collapsed under axial compression. Results of the experimental tests and the follow-up computations of the cylinder's buckling load using ABAQUS FE code are provided. There was a good agreement...

... ABSTRACT Curved panels are widely used in fore and aft side shells and circular bilge parts of container ships, which are subjected to complicated loads combination including axial compression, bending and lateral pressure, particularly in the most critical hull girder vertical bending...

... Abstract The influence of damage in the anti-birdcaging tape and plastic sheath on radial instability is examined through continuum finite element analysis. The numerical procedures are calibrated with physical tests on a flexible pipe subject to pure axial compression. An implicit solver...

KEY WORDS: Weld-induced residual stress; weld depression; girth welds; axial compression; buckling INTRODUCTION The cylindrical shells, especially in the steel pipe form, are widely used in a range of engineering applications such as offshore pipelines...

... parameters (yield strength, Young s modulus and tensile strength) are presented. This data is compared with the data available in literature. The expressions for the stresses and stress combinations namely axial tension, axial compression, bending and tension combined with and without hydrostatic pressure...

... and liner wrinkling are to be quantified, enabling safe and economic design of lined pipe for installation. In this paper liner wrinkling behaviour under axial compression is studied for two situations: the liner pipe without outer pipe and the liner pipe confined in the outer pipe. For the liner pipe...

... respects to liner wrinkling due to axial compression, axial compression tests have been performed, prior to bending tests, to gain more knowledge about the behaviour of TFP. Axial compression tests were executed on only the liner (I), on the liner while positioned in the outer pipe (II) and on the joined...

... of axial friction on the buckling characteristics are investigated. INTRODUCTION In-service buckling of submarine pipelines under the action of axial compressive forces has received significant attention in recent years in view of their increasing economic importance and high repercussions of any...

... ABSTRACT In this study, nine tests were carried out on tubular T-joints subject to various combination of axial compression and in-plane bending in the branch. These tests along with two reference tests i.e. axial alone and in· plane bending alone were used to study interaction equations...
