Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines, Volume 2: Buckle Propagation and Arrest by Stelios Kyriakides and Liang-Hai Lee
Requirements: .PDF reader, 33.5 MB
Overview: Buckle propagation is a problem unique to offshore pipelines, in which the local collapse of a locally weakened section of the pipe initiates a collapse that propagates at high speed catastrophically flattening the line by kilometers. The lowest pressure that can sustain the propagation of the collapse, the propagation pressure, is only a small fraction of the collapse pressure of the intact pipe. The large difference between these two pressures requires that pipelines be designed on the collapse pressure, and the extent of the potential catastrophic damage suffered is limited by the periodic introduction of buckle arrestors to the line.
