Lateral Buckling Analysis


Global buckling is a response to compressive effective axial force and global buckling reduces the axial carrying capacity. Pipelines exposed to potential global buckling are then either those with high effective axial compressive forces, or pipelines with low buckling capacity, typically light pipelines with low lateral pipe-soil resistance.

Pipeline Walking

Pipeline walking can occur for short free-ended pipelines subjected to cyclic loading. Pipeline walking is a phenomena in which start-up / shut-down cycles cause a ratcheting response in the pipeline axial displacement. Over a number of cycles this ratcheting can lead to very large global axial displacement with associated overload of jumper or spool pieces. SAFEBUCK

Free Span Analysis

In ANSYS, we basically calculate the mode shape and the natural frequency.

Free Span Analysis


The free span analysis may be based on approximate response expressions or a refined FE approach depending on the free span classification and response type, see Sec.6. DNVDNV-RPRP-F105
