Many models have been developed in the past to predict failure pressure of a pipeline with single corrosion defect. However, most existing are conservative and may lead unnecessary repairs maintenance risk management. The aim this study is develop probabilistic prediction that suitable for assessment corroded pipelines. proposed at three levels pipe ultimate strength based on comprehensive data...

The objective of this study was to investigate the performance pipelines repaired with carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) under external pressure. pipeline experienced defects in terms thinning its local inner wall. three-dimensional finite element method used analyse collapse pressure pipes internal corrosion defects. traction–separation law and interlaminar damage criterion were applied s...

determination of allowable free span length plays a crucial role in design of offshore pipelines. the seabed intervention cost and safety of an offshore pipelines project are largely influenced by pipelines free spanning during the project life time. different criteria are proposed by both the current designing guidelines and researchers there is however lack of comprehensive assessment of inde...

Geological conditions along long distance pipelines are complex. In consideration of differences in elevation and terrain obstacles, long distance pipelines are commonly laid through tunnels. Oil and gas pipelines are often laid side by side to reduce construction costs and minimize geological impact. The layout and construction of parallel oil and gas pipelines are more complex than those of s...

this paper reviews the possible effects determined on polymeric food packaging films by the simultaneous application of pressure (p) and temperature (t) in high pressure pasteurization and sterilization treatments of packaged foodstuffs. both theoretical modeling and experimental issues are discussed. in fact reversible and irreversible effects that could occur in single film as well as in mult...

pressure refers to the feelings an athlete has about performing in a competitive situation. the primary aim of this study was to examine kinematic changes of tennis serves in increasing competitive pressure. 20 semi-professional right-handed male tennis players completed 120 serves under low (normal) and high competitive pressure phases. pressure checks (heart rate and perceived competitive sta...

OpenMOLE is a scientific workflow engine with a strong emphasis on workload distribution. Workflows are designed using a high level Domain Specific Language (DSL) built on top of Scala. It exposes natural parallelism constructs to easily delegate the workload resulting from a workflow to a wide range of distributed computing environments. OpenMOLE hides the complexity of designing complex exper...

hydrates are crystalline compounds similar to ice, with guest molecules like methane and ethane trapped inside cavities or cages formed by the hydrogen bounded framework of water molecules. these solid compounds give rise to problems in the natural gas oil industry because they can plug pipelines and process equipments. low dosage hydrate inhibitors are a recently developed hydrate control tech...
