Mechanical Test on Pipe Collapse under External Pressure

Abstract

Many factors result in pipe collapses under certain external pressure. The relations among them have been studied by the pipe collapse tests. This pepper focused on the test analyses of steel pipe collapse resistance. Those include a pipe collapse pressure test under external pressure and illustrate both test and preparing theoretical analysis, and results of the collapse pressure with the effects on the tendency of ovality. In addition to various pipe collapse data and mechanical test methods, this study will offer a summary of the findings for the further intention of theories researches.
