Short-term HDPE pipe degradation upon exposure to aggressive environments

Mechanical properties of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) tubular structures are the subject of numerous studies in relation to physical and mechanical properties variation,

The finite element method is used to assess the values of the stress intensity factor of an axially oriented semi-elliptical crack located at the inner surface of an HDPE pipe..

2 groups: (1) The Rate Process Method or RPM, (2) The Bi-Directional Shift Approach, and (3) Methods of the Fracture Mechanics. In the latter category, there are several

decreased systematically for all toughness cases supporting the idea that reliability and fracture toughness designate similar properties for service life or material resistance

Lifetime man- agement of underground pipelines is mandatory for safety and the use of HDPE tubes subjected to internal pressure, external loading and environmental

Morphological properties such as crystallinity, crystalline lamellae thickness and the oxidation induction time (OIT) are studied using differential scanning calorimetry in order

The objective of this study is to present a new approach to investigate the mechanical heterogeneity through the wall thickness of a resistant HDPE pipe using machined

In this paper, we propose a REST API (together with a web user interface) that allows for computing on-demand the percentage of land cover classes of a geographic area, according to
