... methodology would be most appropriate to detect both crack initiation and growth of the flaws. The results of the analysis show that optimizing all these design factors provides a solid basis for achieving experimental success. full-scale test pipeline sulfide stress cracking flaw design K-profiles...

... for simulating crack initiation and propagation in X42 vintage pipeline are calibrated numerically by comparing the numerical models with the full-scale test results. With the appropriate damage parameters, the numerical model can reasonably reproduce the full-scale experimental test results and can be used...
