On The Dynamics And The Arrest Of The Propagating Buckle In Offshore Pipelines

An investigation has been carried out in an effort to understand the dynamics of a propagating buckle and to find a basis for designing efficient and effective arresting devices. The velocity of propagation was measured as a function of diameter to thickness ratio and pressure, Tests were carried out in different pressure media. It was found that the propagation velocity is affected by the pressurizing medium used as well as the pressure. It was...
