| Summary: | Pipelines are one of the most practical and economically efficient ways to transport dangerous and/or flammable substances, for which road or rail transport is often impossible. The evaluation of the processes that can negatively influence the performance of the pipelines is particularly important for assessing the risk associated with the operation of these technical systems and the potential for technical accidents. The anomalies that can be found on the pipes can be classified into two main categories. Imperfections that do not inadmissibly affect their load-bearing capacity and defects with significant negative influences on the correct operation and load-bearing capacity of the piping, which require supervision and maintenance measures. The influence of these anomalies and the processes that lead to the decrease of the pipeline-bearing capacity constitutes the main objectives of the analysis performed. The local elastic-plastic deformation anomalies are considered, for which the parameters of the geometric model of the defect profile, the conditions for generating these anomalies, and the evaluation methods, respectively, were analyzed, both analytically and experimentally. |
