OFFSHORE PIPELINE STRESS ANALYSIS
method for analyzing the stresses induced in a submarine pipeline during installation utilizes finite difference equations and load deflection curves to form a mathematical model of the pipeline-stinger-lay barge system from the deck of the barge to the sea floor. Examples are given of contemporary problems and possible future deep-water pipelines. Field tests with 1 in. and 2.5 in. pipe under varying tension are described, and results are compared with theoretical deflections. The basic equations and their derivations are presented.
