Tensile Fracture Behavior of Corroded Pipelines: Part 2—Numerical Simulation Based on Monte Carlo Method

The experimental part in this companion paper revealed that the macroscopic mechanical performance of corroded pipes follows a decreasing trend with the increasing corrosion rate. Inspired by the surface topology by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and the scattered distribution of test data, a computational procedure based on the Monte Carlo simulation method was developed in this paper to understand the randomness of the crack propagation...
