The First (2007) ISOPE Strain-Based Design Symposium - A Review

摘要

The aim of this first symposium on strain-based design of pipelines was to bring together a multidisciplinary group of industry experts to discuss the challenges of designing pipelines subjected to high strain. The symposium included nearly fifty presentations and comprehensive proceedings covering all aspects of strain-based design. This review summarizes the key themes of the symposium including projects, design, mechanics, assessments, materials, and testing. The work presented at the symposium shows the broad range of efforts underway to address the challenges of strain-based design of pipelines as well as the work remaining to be completed to have an industry-wide consistent solution. Rather than simply providing a compilation of these various studies, this review aims to assess the work within each topical area collectively. This assessment of the state of the art and remaining challenges from the symposium will serve as a backdrop for the Second (2008) ISOPE Strain-Based Design Symposium.
