Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines, Volume 2

Buckle Propagation and Arrest

By: Stelios Kyriakides,Liang-Hai Lee

Buckle propagation is a problem unique to offshore pipelines, in which the local collapse of a locally weakened section of the pipe initiates a collapse that propagates at high speed catastrophically flattening the line by kilometers. The lowest pressure that can sustain the propagation of the collapse, the propagation pressure, is only a small fraction of the collapse pressure of the intact pipe. The large difference between these two pressures requires that pipelines be designed on the collapse pressure, and the extent of the potential catastrophic damage suffered is limited by the periodic introduction of buckle arrestors to the line. Volume 2 of the book series Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines addresses the major aspects of buckle propagation including its initiation, establishment of the propagation pressure, and the dynamics of buckle propagation. Buckle propagation under tension, in pipe-in-pipe pipeline systems, and confined buckle propagation in tubulars such as grouted casing are examined in dedicated chapters. Three chapters deal with the performance of the most commonly used buckle arrestors under both quasi-static and dynamic buckle propagation. Each of these problems is studied through experiments, analyses, and large-scale numerical simulations. The results are used to provide empirical design equations and design guidelines on how to mitigate the effects of buckle propagation. - Buckle propagation and arrest approached from both fundamental and applied points of view - Provides data, empirical design formulae, and design guidelines - Teaches how to analyze buckle propagation and mitigate its effects through experiment and modeling - Based on the 40-year research and practice of the most eminent researcher in the subject

Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines: Volume I

Buckling and Collapse

By: Stelios Kyriakides,Edmundo Corona

Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines, Second Edition, Volume One: Buckling and Collapse gives engineers fundamental knowledge on principles surrounding the mechanical behavior of pipelines and long tubular structures in the oil and gas industry. Addressing common challenges pertaining to buckling and collapse under various offshore loads, the authors go through each challenge experimentally, with supporting and analyzing data to present the main limits encountered. Helpful to both the practicing engineer and the graduate level, the combined effort of analysis supplemented with numerical modeling helps engineers design procedures and guidelines to reproduce the best solution or solve problems using a nonlinear finite element code. Custom formulations are also included to help users gain a deeper understanding of each challenge. Rounding out with helpful appendices, including a glossary of terms, this book continues to deliver critical research and data to engineers that need to design, install and maintain efficient and safe offshore pipelines. - Updated to include more practical aspects, such as failure of corroded pipes under external pressure and response of bi-material under bending - Delves into cost-effective materials and installation techniques - Covers guidelines, practicing methods and recommendations on maintenance and design - Recommended as the "bible" for offshore pipelines - Explains the full spectrum of classical challenges, such as inelastic structural mechanics and the newest technological demands

Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines

Volume 1 Buckling and Collapse

By: Stelios Kyriakides,Edmundo Corona

Offshore oil and gas production was conducted throughout the entire 20th century, but the industry's modern importance and vibrancy did not start until the early 1970s, when the North Sea became a major producer. Since then, the expansion of the offshore oil industry has been continuous and rapid. Pipelines, and more generally long tubular structures, are major oil and gas industry tools used in exploration, drilling, production, and transmission. Installing and operating tubular structures in deep waters places unique demands on them. Technical challenges within the field have spawned significant research and development efforts in a broad range of areas.Volume I addresses problems of buckling and collapse of long inelastic cylinders under various loads encountered in the offshore arena. Several of the solutions are also directly applicable to land pipelines. The approach of Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines is problem oriented. The background of each problem and scenario are first outlined and each discussion finishes with design recommendations.* New and classical problems addressed - investigated through a combination of experiments and analysis* Each chapter deals with a specific mechanical problem that is analyzed independently* The fundamental nature of the problems makes them also applicable to other fields, including tubular components in nuclear reactors and power plants, aerospace structures, automotive and civil engineering structures, naval vehicles and structures

Mergers and Acquisitions - Success Or Failure?

By: Svenja Grüsgen,Stelios Kyriakides,Christos Alexandrou,Constantia Venizelou,Maria Papadou

Project Report from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, course: Strategic Management and Business Policy, language: English, abstract: Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) are an increasingly important instrument for direct investment and growth in companies all over the world. They are very complex procedures, prior researches show that approximately 64% of all M&A's do not produce the expected benefits, more than 50% do not even repay the investment (Boglarsky, 2005). Common reasons, assumed by experts, are lacking preparation, management mistakes and insufficient compatibility. The explanation why M&A's are still so attractive are the very high profit opportunities. (Wirtz, 2003) This research aims to investigate on the importance of strategic management and corporate governance for the success of M&A's. It will provide deeper understanding of the relationship between those very important aspects and the success of one of the most critical investment strategies. To conduct the research, two very different Mergers of DaimlerChrysler and Sony Ericsson were analysed and compared. The DaimlerChrysler merger on the one hand is often regarded to as one of the best examples of failure. Taking the situation before the merger, it could have been a very successful event. Mismanagement and lacking implementation of corporate governance though, destroyed every possibility of a profitable future. Sony Ericsson on the other hand is a very successful Joint Venture, even though there were some difficulties at the beginning. Thanks to a very clear vision, culture and the determination to learn, Sony Ericsson is today one of the leading companies in the mobile market. We are interested to see, how the theory of mergers and acquisitions can be applied to companies of our day to day life and how important strategic management and corporate governance really are for the success of a company.

Seismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings

By: Stelios Antoniou

Seismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings Understand the complexities and challenges of retrofitting building infrastructure Across the world, buildings are gradually becoming structurally unsound. Many were constructed before seismic load capacity was a mandatory component of building standards, and were often built with low-quality materials or using unsafe construction practices. Many more are simply aging, with materials degrading, and steel corroding. As a result, efforts are ongoing to retrofit existing structures, and to develop new techniques for assessing and enhancing seismic load capacity in order to create a safer building infrastructure worldwide. Seismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings provides a thorough book-length discussion of these techniques and their applications. Balancing theory and practice, the book provides engineers with a broad base of knowledge from which to approach real-world seismic assessments and retrofitting projects. It incorporates knowledge and experience frequently omitted from the building design process for a fuller account of this critical engineering subfield. Seismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings readers will also find: Detailed treatment of each available strengthening technique, complete with advantages and disadvantages In-depth guidelines to select a specific technique for a given building type and/or engineering scenario Step-by-step guidance through the assessment/retrofitting process Seismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings is an ideal reference for civil and structural engineering professionals and advanced students, particularly those working in seismically active areas.
