• CO2 pipeline integrity: A coupled fluid-structure model using a reference equation of state for CO2 

      Aursand, Eskil; Aursand, Peder; Berstad, Torodd; Dørum, Cato; Hammer, Morten; Munkejord, Svend Tollak; Nordhagen, Håkon Ottar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      We present a coupled fluid-structure model to study crack propagation and crack arrest in pipelines. Numerical calculations of crack arrest, crack velocity and pressure profiles have been performed for steel pipes with an ...
    • CO2 pipeline integrity: A new evaluation methodology 

      Berstad, Torodd; Dørum, Cato; Jakobsen, Jana Poplsteinova; Kragset, Steinar; Li, Hailong; Lund, Halvor; Morin, Alexandre; Munkejord, Svend Tollak; Mølnvik, Mona Jacobsen; Nordhagen, Håkon Ottar; Østby, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      A coupled fluid-structure model for pipeline integrity simulations has been developed. The pipe material and fracture propagation have been modelled using the finite-element method with a local fracture criterion. The ...
    • Effect of long periods of corrosion on the fatigue lifetime of offshore mooring chain steel 

      Qvale, Paul; Nordhagen, Håkon Ottar; Ås, Sigmund Kyrre; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      R4-grade mooring chain steel specimens were subjected to alternating phases of saltwater corrosion and air fatigue to replicate seasonal load variations on chains in service. No significant difference in fatigue lifetimes ...
