In this paper, a number of numerical models of pipes with different size defects are established. The limit loads of these pipes are researched using the nonlinear finite element method. The effect of defect parameters of the local wall-thinning pipes on the limit load is discussed. The results show that limit loads decrease obviously when the depths and lengths of the defect increase. However, when the defect length reaches a certain value, the effect of defect length on limit loads is not significant. These results are compared with the results of the method of API 579. When the defect length is adequately small, the results of FEM are in good agreement with the ones of APl 579, but when the defect depth and length is adequately large, the API 579 is not suitable.展开更多

The influence of the damp, the flow velocity, the pressure and the length of the pipe supported by simple supports on the piping' s first two natural frequencies was discussed. The criti- cal pressure and the critical length of the pipe were obtained. The influence of the flow velocity and pressure on the piping's maximal relative displacements were analyzed.展开更多
