Subsea pipelines are subject to significant axial forces arising from thermal expansion, internal pressure variations and seabed interactions. When these compressive forces exceed a critical threshold ...
Lateral-torsional buckling is a critical instability mode in slender, thin-walled beam-elements subject to bending. In contrast to pure flexural buckling, this phenomenon couples out-of-plane ...
Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
