FE(finite element) models of bend pipe without defects and those with defects were introduced to analyze energy distribution, mode transition and defect detection of ultrasonic guided wave. FE simulation results were validated by experiments of four different bend pipes with circumferential defects in different positions. It is shown that most energy of T(0,1) mode or L(0,2) mode focuses on extrados of bend but little passes through intrados of bend, and T(0,1) mode or L(0,2) mode is converted to other possible non-axisymmetric modes when propagating through the bend and the defect after bend respectively. Furthermore, L(0,2) mode is more sensitive to circumferential notch than T(0,1) mode. The results of this work are beneficial for practical testing of pipes.展开更多

The minimization of the totalpressure loss of the bend pipe was chosen as the design object in order to obtain the uniform exitflows through suppressing the secondary flows. The 3-D Navier-Stokes solver was applied to evaluatethe hydrodynamic performance of the bend-pipe flows. A 7th-order Bezier curve was used toparameterize the meridional section and elliptic representation was adopted to represent thecross-section profiles of the bend pipe. Evolutionary algorithms were applied in optimization. Theobtained results show that the designed bend pipe shape has much more uniform exit flows comparedwith the initial one and much weaker secondary flows, and that the evolutionary algorithms and CFDtechnique are the powerful optimization tools for the fluid machinery desiga展开更多

Theoretical estimation based on the uniform ovalization model and local collapse model proposed in the paper is incorporated to give several simple formulations with reasonable accuracy for determining the relationship between bending moment (M) and curvature (kappa) in the purely bended pipes. Attention is focused on the critical curvature associated with maximum resistant moment and the maximum change in the original diameter before the end of uniform ovalization stage as well as the local collapse behaviour. Some comparisons between analytical results and experimental results are made in order to examine the theory.展开更多

Up to now, little attention has been paid to study the flexible pipe bend applied in the pipeline of medium or high pressure, because no appropriate framework materials can be used to reinforce it which must endure the burst pressure higher than 10 MPa. The investigation shows that it is possible to produce the flexible pipe bend of medium or high pressure if such fibers with high performance as Kevlar fibers are used to be its reinforced materials. However, its structural designing theory, manufacturing technology and measuring techniques aren't yet perfect and systematic, which leads to the instability of the performance of products. Furthermore, few references about its research can be seen. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically and thoroughly develop the structural designing theory, manufacture technology and measuring techniques of flexible pipe bend.展开更多

The focuses of this study are two：（1） to map the radii of curvature as well as the stress inside the work piece during forming by utilizing the meshing mechanism of finite element method, and（2） to further provide some numeric guidelines for the configuration of the rolling system in order to improve production efficiency and product quality. The results of this study indicate that：（1） it is crucial to properly choose forming parameter in order to produce product with desired radii;（2） much like a gradual springback process, the radii of curvature gradually increase from the top roller to the exit-side bottom roller;（3） under the assumptions made in this study, to produce pipes with a specified diameter with varying configurations of the 3-roller system will not significantly change the final residual stress; and（4） finally, shifting of the neutral axis up to 2.0% of the thickness toward the compressing side during the forming process is observed.展开更多

Al is inlayed the inner PE la yer and the outer PE layer. In the producing technological process of this kind of pipe the bend forming of Al belt to tube is very important. It is the bend fo rming dies that are used in the process of producing PE-Al-PE pipe that is stu died in this article. To make a elaborate division, these dies can be classified as bending dies and forming dies here. In this paper, the designation of bendin g dies and forming dies that are used in producing technological process of PE- Al-PE pipe is put forward. The process starts from a coil of Al belt, in the ac tion of pulling force, passes between several bending dies to change its shape. The first step is to change Al belt to U shape. A couple of rolling wheels can b e used to shape the Al belt. The Al belt goes between the two rolling wheels, dr ives the wheels, at the same time is formed as the shape of the rolling wheels. Considering of the factors such as spring of the bend Al belt, frictional force between Al and the die, bending force needed to bend Al belt, etc., it must be s haped gradually into U by several dies. The designation of these dies has been g iven in this paper. The next step is to forming the U shape into a circle. The U shape Al belt goes through a round that is formed with a four-roller die, and then is shaped to a circle. Because the latter procedure requires the Al circle has a laminated area to be ultrasonic welded, this die must be designed to let t he two edges of the circle belt to be piled up to a definite width. But except f or the laminated area the other of the circle should be as round as possible. So the four rollers are not the same. The calculation and designation of the rolle rs of this four-roller die has also been given. The designation of the roller w hich is supposed to leave a gap to let the two edges of the circle belt to be pi led up is to make a fine rotation of an original circle. Then calculates the cen ter of the rotated arc and defines the arc completely. The designation method of the other rollers has also been given in this paper.展开更多

By considering the pipeline＇ s ongoing processing and loading states during service, the pipeline that is generally used exhibits thicker walls than those that are observed in the line pipe. As such, during pipeline construction, hot-induction-bend and line pipes with different wall thickness are girth-welded. The chemical composition of hot-induction-bend and line pipes differs, with the carbon content being particularly higher in the hot-induction-bend pipe;it also depicts a higher carbon equivalent, which makes it possible to modify the girth of the pipe. In this study, using Baosteel＇ s standard X70M UOE hot- induction-bend and line pipes, solid-wire automatic gas-metal-arc girth welding was performed and the performance of the girth-welded joint was evaluated. Furthermore,the weldability of the pipeline girth and the microstructure of the girth-welded joint were analyzed. The results reveal that Baosteel＇ s standard UOE hot-induction-bend and line pipes exhibit good girth weldability, and their technical quality can be guaranteed in case of consumer field- construction applications.展开更多
