Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines, Volume 2 - Buckle Propagation and Arrest - Bok av Stelios (John Webb Jennings Chair in Engineering Kyriakides - Häfta

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..
