... at reducing fabrication cost and increasing efficiency in terms of tip embedment depth during installation and diving behavior under operational loadings. Large-deformation finite element analyses were performed using the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) approach with the simple elastic-perfectly plastic...

... the pipeline to be laid on the curve. For operation, a concern is whether the pipeline structural stress can be controlled and mitigated, for the given soil condition, under conditions of thermal expansion and potential global buckling. In both scenarios, pipeline embedment is a critical parameter...
