Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of deep sea oil development and transportation, and relates to a buckling test device for a submarine pipeline. Background technique
[0002] The marine environment, especially the deep sea environment, has complex and diverse conditions. Submarine pipelines not only bear self-weight, external hydrostatic pressure, internal pressure, medium temperature, prestress, force of pipeline accessories, force of covering and seabed, force caused by pigging operation, etc. Functional loads, as well as environmental loads such as wind, waves, currents, ice (for riser or landing pipeline sections) and earthquakes, are also challenged by occasional loads such as extreme sea conditions, ship collisions, falling objects, sand liquefaction, and operational failures. Pipelines laid in deep water areas are very likely to fail under the action of external loads, such as yield failure of the spanning section of the pipeline, bu...
