Optimal Wear for a Laying Pipe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract The optimal design of the Morgan Construction Companies’ laying pipe is investigated. This crucial component of their rolling mill equipment suffers from rapid, uneven wear. During the 2003 Mathematical Problems in Industry Workshop, a team of ten investigators from five universities and one national laboratory developed a pipe design approach intended to minimize and evenly distribute wear.

Static Structural Analysis of S-lay Pipe Laying with a Tensioner Model Based on the Frictional Contact
Article history: Received: 18.09.2013. Received in revised form: 21.03.2014. Accepted: 24.03.2014. Static structural analysis of a pipe during laying is usually performed by use of finite element analysis tools specialized for this purpose. In this paper, Abaqus/CAE, which is general purpose FEA software, was used for a static non-linear structural analysis of a pipe during pipe laying. The pip...
متن کاملAnalysis of Roll Wear in Reshaping Using Finite Element Simulation
Reshaping process is a widely used method for producing tubes with non-circular cross sections. Owing to the friction between pipe and rolls, initial round pipe moves forward and consequently, it gradually formed into square or rectangular one. In practice, geometric profile of the rolls will be changed after a while. These changes would be detrimental the production of faultless products. Ther...
متن کاملComputational Analysis of Erosion Wear Rate in a Pipeline Using the Drift Flux Models based on Eulerian Continuum Equations
This paper clearly explains the use of drift flux models based on Eulerian continuum equations in predicting erosion wear rate in a transmission pipeline. In this case, a pipeline with a diameter of 0.5m was investigated. It was found that there was a large sand particle concentration on the welded parts of the pipe which has affected the internal geometry of the pipe. From physical examination...
متن کاملA Taguchi approach on optimal process control parameters for HDPE pipe extrusion process
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes find versatile applicability for transportation of water, sewage and slurry from one place to another. Hence, these pipes undergo tremendous pressure by the fluid carried. The present work entails the optimization of the withstanding pressure of the HDPE pipes using Taguchi technique. The traditional heuristic methodology stresses on a trial and error appr...
