About the Book

This book describes integrity management procedures for thin-walled structures such as gas pipelines including various methods for analysis of crack growth in thin-walled structures and probability of failure evaluation of pipelines using Monte-Carlo simulation. The focus of this book is the practical applications of boundary element method, finite element method and probabilistic fracture mechanics. Popular methods for SIF calculation, crack growth are presented in the book. The evaluation of failure probabilities based on BS7910 is explained in detail. The procedures described in the book can be used to optimise the maintenance of pipelines and thereby reducing the cost of operating such pipelines. This book will be of interest to pipeline engineers, postgraduate students and university researchers.

About the Author :
Lie ZHANG obtained his BEng in Mechanical Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology and his MSc in Advanced Mechnical Engineering from Imperial College, London. He received his PhD degree in failure assessment of pipelines from Wessex Institute of Technology in 2008. Dr. Zhang joined BEASY in 2005 as a research engineer and since then he has been involved in several European projects. He specializes in fracture mechanics and failure assessment of shell-like structures. He is also proficient in programming, including Java and C.
