.... Bolting-up or during the assembly stage Abstract In this paper, a design methodology is presented for analysing a non-gasketed bolted flange connector, for subsea applications where the flange is subject to various combinations of mechanical loading. The proposed methodology is aligned with the API...

.... However, traditional FEA methods use shell or solid dimensional elements for this problem and are computationally expensive. In this paper, an explicit FEA based on beam and connector elements implemented in the Abaqus software is employed to study the buckling of drill strings in different wellbores...

... During initial loading of the connector, threads in the lower loads remain in the elastic regime and the bathtub curve is fairly steep, as illustrated in Figure 5 As higher and higher loads are applied to the connector in tension and/or bending, the local stresses in the first and last threads...

In two separate DSV interventions, divers removed the damaged VX gasket with hydraulic arms, and cut the damaged area using a diamond rope cutter and Grayserv cutter. It was then possible to trial fit an H-4 connector over...
