A FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF LATERAL BUCKLING OF TENSILE ARMOR LAYERS OF FLEXIBLE PIPES CONSIDERING MACHINING GEOMETRY DEFECTS

A Finite Element Analysis of Lateral Buckling of Tensile Armor Layers of Flexible Pipes Considering Machining Geometry Defects

The tensile armor layer plays a crucial role in offshore flexible pipelines, primarily bearing axial tensile loads.However, during installation and operation, it may experience compressive forces, leading to a risk of lateral buckling, which is further intensified by manufacturing deviations in the steel strips.This study introduces a method to qua

Known loci in the KIT and TYR genes do not explain the depigmented white coat colour of Austro-Hungarian Baroque donkey

The Italian Asinara donkey and the White Austro-Hungarian Baroque donkey share an identical coat colour phenotype which is characterised by unpigmented skin, white hair, white hooves and blue eyes.Whereas for the Asinara donkey the white coat colour phenotype was assigned to a recessive inherited missense mutation in the Tyrosinase gene (TYR), the
