Buckle propagation is a problem unique to offshore pipelines, in
which the local collapse of a locally weakened section of the pipe
initiates a collapse that propagates at high speed catastrophically
flattening the line by kilometers. The lowest pressure that can
sustain the propagation of the collapse, the propagation pressure,
is only a small fraction of the collapse pressure of the intact
pipe. The large difference between these two pressures requires
that pipelines be designed on the collapse pressure, and the extent
of the potential catastrophic damage suffered is limited by the
periodic introduction of buckle arrestors to the line. Volume 2 of
the book series Mechanics of Offshore Pipelines addresses the major
aspects of buckle propagation including its initiation,
establishment of the propagation pressure, and the dynamics of
buckle propagation. Buckle propagation under tension, in
pipe-in-pipe pipeline systems, and confined buckle propagation in
tubulars such as grouted casing are examined in dedicated chapters.
Three chapters deal with the performance of the most commonly used
buckle arrestors under both quasi-static and dynamic buckle
propagation. Each of these problems is studied through experiments,
analyses, and large-scale numerical simulations. The results are
used to provide empirical design equations and design guidelines on
how to mitigate the effects of buckle propagation.
