Free-span occurs normally in a pipeline at uneven seabed, dynamic seabed and pipeline crossing. Free spanning in pipeline causes Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) fatigue, fracture and bursting. In this paper, a pipeline located in South Pars Gas Field is assessed against local buckling and VIV fatigue using probability of failure theory based on the recommended methodology by Det Norske Veritas (...

Torsional dynamic analysis of carbon nanotubes under the effect of longitudinal magnetic field is carried out in the present study. Torque effect of an axial magnetic field on a carbon nanotube has been defined using Maxwell’s relation. Nonlocal governing equation and boundary conditions for carbon nanotubes are obtained by using Hamilton’s minimum energy principle. Eringen’s nonlocal stress gr...

This paper investigates the relationship between mechanical behaviors and shape of corrugated fiberboard by means of buckling analysis, which is done by FEM (Finite Element Method). Firstly, after analyzing the structure of corrugated fiberboard a single-wall corrugated fiberboard model was built. The buckling load was measured in the ideal condition by linear buckling analysis (eigenvalue buck...

PANDA2, a computer program for the minimum-weight design of elastic perfect and imperfect stiffened cylindrical panels and shells under multiple sets of combined loads, is used to obtain optimum designs of uniformly axially compressed elastic internal T-ring and external T-stringer stiffened cylindrical shells with initial imperfections in the form of the general buckling mode. The optimum desi...

Abstract Artificial multiarticular musculoskeletal systems consisting of serially connected links driven by monoarticular and muscles, which are often inspired vertebrates, enable robots to elicit dynamic, elegant, flexible movements. However, serial muscles can cause unstable motion (e.g., buckling). The stability mechanisms antagonistic depends on the muscle configuration, origin/insertion sp...

Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, distortional buckling may be the predominant failure mode. Experimental results on cold-formed steel beams with unrestrai...

In this paper, a set of partial differential equations considering the dynamic effects coiled tubing (CT) is established based on bending theory slender beams axial loads. The analytical solution sinusoidal deformation with time term obtained. critical load during buckling and change half-wave number post-buckling are studied through introduction necessary conditions, separation constant. conta...
