| Summary: | Free spanning pipeline is considered a threat towards pipeline that needs to be inspected for its reliability. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the structural integrity of a free spanning pipeline. Finite Element Simulation method is used. Different length of free spanning pipeline will act under different loading (pressure) for the simulation of stress distribution towards the pipeline. The result the free spanning simulation will lead to the result for monitoring or repairing work towards the free span. At the end of this research, finite element modelling (FEM) simulation is proven to be a reliable tool for free spanning pipeline assessment. |
