Nonlinear Analysis of Axisymmetrically Wrinkled Pipes Under Axial Loads and Internal Pressures

Nonlinear finite element analysis of axi-symmetrically dented/wrinkled pipe has been presented in this paper. The pipe including surrounding soil was modelled using three different approaches to indicate the effects of modelling approaches on the simulation of pipe behavior. In the first approach, pipe was modelled with the geometry of the dented/wrinkled pipe without consideration of any residual stress and stress history. In the second...
