Local Buckling on Pipes

[frd03]

Hello all,

Could be possible to simulate with Abaqus a local buckling on a thin pipe, for example: a straight pipe supported in the middle of span or to get the maximum moment to avoid the local buckling on curved pipe ?

Thanks

Yes.

Is it pre-buckling or post buckling behaviour you looking for?

Hello,

Iniatially would be pre-buckling analyse.

Thanks

Then the analysis likely to stop where it start to buckle. Tou may want to use a small ammout of stabliization to ensure you have reach the limit.
