No minimum orderDescription
Structural Mechanics and Design of Metal Pipes: Stress and Strain Analysis and Mechanical Behavior presents a unified approach to understanding, predicting and better managing the mechanical behaviors of onshore metallic pipelines, offshore metallic pipelines, and other industrial metallic piping systems. The book relates specific mechanical behaviors with pipeline design methods, discusses geohazards, pipeline walking and lined pipes, and outlines approaches for the finite element modeling of metallic pipes and pipelines. The structural mechanics of elastic rings and cylinders, global buckling of pipelines, the mechanics of pipeline bends, pipe deformation, and the behavior of pipelines under cyclic loading are all covered at length. Special attention is paid to optimal mechanical design for onshore, offshore and buried metal pipelines.
