| Sumario: | An unbonded flexible pipe is one of the most important equipment in offshore engineering, transporting oil and gas between the floater on the sea and the well located on the seabed. Flexible pipes consist of several metallic helical-reinforced layers and internal and external polymer sheaths, and relative slip between the layers is allowed, so that the structure show high axial stiffness and radial stiffness associated with relatively low bending stiffness. During the operation and installation, the flexible pipe will be subjected to complex and coupled loads such as tension, internal pressure, external pressure, torsion and bending, which lead to multiple structural failures. This chapter will present the current theoretical models and research progress to effectively evaluate the response of such composite structure, providing reference ideas for the engineering design of the flexible pipes. |
