A description of the BEPICO computer program to estimate the potential for pipe collapse under bending and external pressure. Includes source code in FORTRAN.
This report documents the work accomplished during the course of a three year period. The main objective of this study was to investigate the collapse of thick-walled tubes under combined axial tension and pressure. A combined analytic and…
A pipeline girth weld may contain one single or multiple defects. If discrete multiple notches occur, current codes define by applying proximity rules the defect dimensions to be used in an ECA. The defect interaction rules contained in pipeline…
