Umbilical cables are fundamental equipment used in deep and ultra-deep water oil and gas production systems. The complexity of such structures usually enforces the use of numerical tools. This paper presents and compares two different numerical approaches for prediction of stress and strain fields in the umbilical cable components under crushing loads, which are imposed to the umbilical during laying...
An investigation on triggering mechanisms for the birdcaging failure mode of flexible pipes, used in offshore oil and gas production, is carried out. From previous experimental observations, a conjecture is made: the local axisymmetric instability of the external plastic layer, caused by the high radial loading which is internally applied due to the helical armor wires tendency to expand when the...
