The Effect of Cooling Mode on Slow Crack Growth Resistance of Polyethylene Pipe

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have been widely used as gas or water transport pipes owing to their comprehensive advantages. One of the principal failure modes determining pipe service lifetime is slow crack growth (SCG) with the crack occurring first at the inner surface due to the slow cooling rate of the pipe's inner wall during polyethylene (PE) pipe extrusion. In order to change the conventional cooling mode and increase the cooling rate in the inner wall of PE pipe during extrusion, a novel extrusion equipment was designed and manufactured by our research team. For this paper, compressed air as a cooling medium was introduced through the interior of the hot extruded pipe during its extrusion to realize the quick inner wall cooling, and the effects of the inner wall's cooling rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the PE pipe were investigated. The experimental results showed that simultaneously cooling of both the outer and inner walls could decrease the difference in the solidification rate across the pipe and reduce the residual internal stresses in PE pipe. The quick cooling of the inner wall of the extruded pipe could also decrease the PE crystal thickness, and increase the number of tie molecules in the inner wall, which is a key parameter determining the resistance to SCG. As a result, compared to the PE pipe produced by the conventional extrusion, the crack initiation time of the PE pipe manufactured by the novel method increased from 27 h to 45 h and the crack growth rate was slower.     

On whistling of pipes with a corrugated segment: Experiment and theory

Corrugated pipes are commonly used because of their local rigidity combined with global flexibility. The flow through such a pipe can induce strong whistling tones, which is an environmental nuisance and can be a threat to the mechanical integrity of the system. This paper considers the use of a composite pipe: a shorter corrugated pipe segment embedded between smooth pipe segments. Such a pipe retains some flexibility, while the acoustical damping in the smooth pipe reduces whistling tones. Whistling is the result of coherent vortex shedding at the cavities in the wall. This vortex shedding is synchronized by longitudinal acoustic waves traveling along the pipe. The acoustic waves trigger the vortex shedding, which reinforces the acoustic field for a critical range of the Strouhal number values. A linear theory for plane wave propagation and the sound production is proposed, which allows a prediction of the Mach number at the threshold of whistling in such pipes. A semi-empirical approach is chosen to determine the sound source in this model. This source corresponds to a fluctuating force acting on the fluid as a consequence of the vortex shedding. The functional form of the Strouhal number dependency of the dimensionless sound source amplitude is based on numerical simulations. The magnitude of the source and the Strouhal number range in which it can drive whistling are determined by matching the model to results for a specific corrugated pipe segment length. This semi-empirical source model is then applied to composite pipes with different corrugated segment lengths. In addition, the effect of inlet acoustical convective losses due to flow separation is considered. The Mach number at the threshold of whistling is predicted within a factor 2.

The mobility of the amorphous phase in polyethylene as a determining factor for slow crack growth

Polyethylene (PE) pipes generally exhibit a limited lifetime, which is considerably shorter than their chemical degradation period. Slow crack growth failure occurs when pipes are used in long-distance water or gas distribution though being exposed to a pressure lower than the corresponding yield stress. This slow crack growth failure is characterized by localized craze growth and craze fibril rupture. In the literature, the lifetime of PE pipes is often considered as being determined by the density of tie chains connecting adjacent crystalline lamellae. But this consideration cannot explain the excellent durability of the recent bimodal grade PE for pipe application. We show in this paper the importance of the craze fibril length as the determining factor for the pipe lifetime. The conclusions are drawn from stress analysis. It is found that longer craze fibrils sustain lower stress and are deformed to a lesser degree. The mobility of the amorphous phase is found to control the amount of material that can be sucked in by the craze fibrils and thus the length of the craze fibrils. The mobility of the amorphous phase can be monitored by dynamic mechanical analysis measurements. Excellent agreement between the mobility thus derived and lifetimes of PE materials as derived from FNCT (full notch creep test) is given, thus providing an effective means to estimate the lifetime of PE pipes by considering well-defined physical properties.     

Vibration characteristic analysis of buried pipes using the wave propagation approach

A theoretical analysis for the free vibration of simply supported buried pipes has been investigated using the wave propagation approach. The pipe modeled as a thin cylindrical shell of linear homogeneous isotropic elastic material buried in a linear isotropic homogeneous elastic medium of infinite extent. The vibrations of the pipe are examined by using Flüggle shell equation. The natural frequencies are obtained for the pipes surrounded by vacuo or elastic medium. The results are compared with those available in the literature and agreement is found with them. It is found that the free vibration frequency of the pipe does not appear for some of the axial or circular vibration modes and the real natural frequencies of the pipe are significantly dependent on the rigidity of the surrounding medium.

爆炸载荷作用下焊缝区附近埋地X70钢管的动力响应分析

爆破地震效应对埋地管线的影响已成为工程爆破领域研究的热点。基于有限元软件ANSYS/LS-DYNA,以两种含Y型焊缝(坡口有2 mm余高焊缝和坡口无余高焊缝)的埋地X70钢管为例,数值模拟研究了TNT炸药量相同(4.473 kg)而炸高(60.0、85.0和110.0 cm)不同时,焊缝区附近埋地X70钢管的动力响应规律。研究表明:当炸高为60.0 cm时,焊缝有余高的管道受应力集中的影响较大,且先于焊缝无余高的管道进入屈服阶段;当炸高为60.0和85.0 cm时,焊缝有余高的管道整体抵抗变形的能力明显弱于焊缝无余高的管道。管土间的相互作用对X70管道背爆面有支撑作用,可有效地减小管道背爆面的位移。在相同条件下,焊缝有余高的X70管道抵抗振动的性能弱于焊缝无余高的管道,且与焊缝形式相比,炸高对含焊缝区的X70管道的最大振速起主要影响作用。     

Magnetothermal Wind Visualized by Numerical Computation

This study describes the numerical evaluation of the transient and steady state characteristics of a magnetothermal wind created by the Kelvin force inside the bore space of a super-conducting magnet. The model system designed to evaluate the present numerical computations is composed of two coaxial circular pipes with open ends. The outer pipe, acting as the cooling pipe, corresponds to the bore space of the super-conducting magnet, while the inner pipe, acting as the heating pipe, is installed inside this bore space. The vertical magnetic gradient generated in the bore space as a source of the Kelvin force was replaced by that generated by the electric current circulating within the circular electric coil. The computed results indicated that the generation direction, the flow rate, and the flow pattern of the magnetothermal wind strongly depended on the position of the circular electric coil. For instance, when the circular electric coil was placed at the lower end of the heating region, the free convection was accelerated by the Kelvin force and an upward magnetothermal wind with a maximum flow rate was created. On the other hand, when the circular electric coil was placed at the upper end of the heating region, the free convection was suppressed by the Kelvin force and a downward magnetothermal wind was created.     

A study of vibroacoustic coupling between a pump and attached water-filled pipes

This paper presents a model for the vibroacoustical behavior of a pump coupled with water-filled pipes. Coupling between (a) the pump and the inlet and outlet pipes, and (b) the pipe wall and the fluid contained in the pipe, is investigated through analytical modeling and numerical simulation. In the model, the pump is represented by a rigid body supported by multiple elastic mounts, and the inlet and outlet pipes by two semi-infinite water-filled pipes. The vibration characteristics of the coupled system under the excitation of mechanical forces and fluid-borne forces at the pump are calculated. The results enhance our understanding about how the input mechanical and fluid excitation energy at the pump is transmitted to the pipes and how to relate the piping vibroacoustical response to the excitations at the pump. This study assists in predicting dynamic stress in pipes for given excitations at the pump, and in developing methods to identify the nature (fluid or mechanical) of the excitation forces at the pump using the vibration and dynamic pressure measurements on the pump/pipe system.     

Circulation pumps as structure-borne sound sources: emission to semi-infinite pipe systems

Circulation pumps are an important source of noise from domestic central heating systems. Pumps can generate airborne, liquid-borne and structure-borne sound and although standards exist for airborne and liquid-borne sources, none do for structure-borne sources. This is primarily because the structure-borne acoustic power delivered by the pump not only depends on the pump but also on the connected receiving system, which can be a complicated combination of pipes, valves and radiators. Also pumps deliver liquid-borne and structure-borne acoustic power simultaneously and their relative contributions to the sound radiated from the pipe system is not obviously obtainable. The approach proposed is to estimate the emission from the pump into semi-infinite pipes of material and cross-section typical of heating systems. Then to estimate the ‘mixing’ effect of bends, joints and other pipe discontinuities, due to wave mode conversion, as described in a companion paper. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that the structure-borne power can be calculated from the measured free velocity and mobility of the pump for each component of vibration and from receiver mobilities of idealized pipe systems. The structure-borne power is compared with the liquid-borne power measured directly by intensimetry.     

Visualization and Experimental Analysis of Fluid Behavior in Grooved Heat Pipes

High-performance grooved heat pipe modelling requires improved knowledge of flow behavior inside grooves. Even if this flow is usually laminar, a free surface governed by capillarity leads to many difficulties when calculating the mean friction factor of grooves. In the present study, an experimental bench has been developed in order to visualize the liquid–vapor interface channels of four different axially grooved heat pipes. Subsequent experimentation, which is associated with image processing programs, allows for measurement of liquid height and meniscus radius evolution in a groove along the heat pipe axis. As regards laminar flow inside the grooves typically used in heat pipes, the mean friction factor has been measured.

应用光纤布喇格光栅传感器监测地下管道腐蚀的新方法研究

地下管线工作环境恶劣,腐蚀是引起它破坏和失效的主要原因之一.本文提出了一种应用光纤光栅传感器监测管道腐蚀的新方法.输送石油和天然气等一些物质的管道内部存在的压力会使管道发生膨胀,进而导致管道外壁产生环向变形.假定管道为无限长,管道内部压力导致的管道外壁轴向应变可忽略不计,当管线发生腐蚀时,会导致管壁变薄,管道内部的压力又可以看作基本不变,这样就会增大管道外壁的环向应变.当管道内部压力保持恒定时,管道壁厚与应变之间存在一定的反比例关系,本文方法就是将封装好的光纤光栅传感器粘贴在管道外壁,通过监测外壁环向变形来判断管道腐蚀的情况和程度.通过理论值、模拟值和试验值三者的对比分析来说明了这种新方法是可行的,并且值得被广泛应用,为埋地管道的防灾减灾提供了一种对策.     

A virtual pipe rig for testing acoustic leak detection correlators: Proof of concept

Acoustic correlators have been used for many years to locate and detect leaks in buried water distribution pipes. Currently, the only way to compare different correlators directly is in the field. This can be problematic as it may be difficult to present exactly the same conditions to each correlator. In recent years, the way in which leak noise propagates in buried water pipes has been determined, and this has enabled the development of a virtual pipe whose behaviour can be simulated in the computer. By coupling the filtering properties of the pipe with electrodynamic shakers, a proof-of-concept virtual pipe test-rig has been developed that will allow different correlators to be compared directly in laboratory conditions. Different situations, such as pipe material and size, and measurement positions, as well as leak strength can be simulated. The theoretical basis of the test-rig and details of the proof-of-concept system are discussed in this paper. It is shown that careful consideration of the dynamics of the shakers is vital if the system is to faithfully model situations that are found in the field.     

Whistling of a pipe system with multiple side branches: Comparison with corrugated pipes

Corrugated pipes are widely used because they combine local rigidity with global flexibility. Whistling induced by flow through such pipes can lead to serious environmental and structural problems. The whistling of a multiple side branch system is compared to the whistling behavior of corrugated pipes. The study has been restricted to cavities with sharp edges which are convenient for theoretical modeling. The side branch depth is chosen to be equal to the side branch diameter, which corresponds to cavity geometries in typical corrugated pipes. The low frequency resonance modes of the multiple side branch system have been predicted by means of acoustic models, of which the validity has been tested experimentally. Several experiments have been carried out for characterizing the whistling behavior of the system. While the behavior of a multiple side branch system is interesting on its own it can be compared to that of corrugated pipes. These experiments show that the multiple side branch system is in many aspects a reasonable model for corrugated pipes. Advantage of the multiple side branch system is that it is an experimental setup allowing easy modification of cavity depth. We used this feature to identify the pressure nodes of the acoustic standing wave along the main pipe as the regions where sound is produced. This contradicts recent publications on corrugated pipes. Another interesting aspects is that the system appears to whistle at the second hydrodynamic mode of the cavities rather than at the first hydrodynamic mode. A prediction model for the whistling behavior is proposed, consisting of an energy balance, based on the vortex sound theory. The model predicts the observed Strouhal number but overestimates the acoustic fluctuation amplitude by a factor four.

Dispersion of circumferential waves in cylindrically anisotropic layered pipes in plane strain

Dispersion spectra of circumferential waves along the periphery of circular pipes made of layered anisotropic materials do not seem to be available in literature. This note attempts to partially fill this gap by providing the dispersion spectra in two and three layered cylindrically anisotropic pipes in plane strain motion. The spectra for pipes executing time harmonic vibrations in plane strain condition are obtained as roots of a numerical characteristic equation derived extending a weighted residual method of solution of the governing equations for a single layer pipe [Towfighi et al., J. Appl. Mech. 69, 283-291 (2002)] to a general N layered pipe. The anisotropic elastic coefficients are considered to be independent of position coordinates and the bond condition at interfaces of the layers is assumed to be perfect. Numerical illustrations are presented for two and three layered pipes with anisotropy directions differing in adjacent layers. Increase in curvature of the pipe and inclination of the fiber orientation in the outermost layers to propagation direction are factors that seem to influence the mode number and pattern within the limited examples worked out.     

Radiation Acoustic Field of a Linear Phased Array on a Cylindrical Surface

A new linear ultrasonic phased array fixed on a cylindrical surface is designed. This kind of the cylindrical phased array can meet the specific requirements of the application in testing pipe quality inside pipes. Using the transducer, we can not only avoid mechanical rotating but also test the quality of any point in a pipe by ultrasonic phase array technology. The focused acoustic field distributions in the axial, radial and tangential directions of the transducer are investigated theoretically by numerical simulation. The energy flux density, the width of the main lobe, the imaging resolution, the grating lobe elimination and other characteristics are analysed. The effect of the focal distance, effective aperture, transducer radius, number of total element, and steering angle on the acoustic field distribution is also studied.thoroughly. Many important results are obtained.     

Torsional wave experiments with a new magnetostrictive transducer configuration

For the efficient long-range nondestructive structural health inspection of pipes, guided waves have become widely used. Among the various guided wave modes, the torsional wave is most preferred since its first branch is nondispersive. Our objective in this work is to develop a new magnetostrictive transducer configuration to transmit and receive torsional waves in cylindrical waveguides. The conventional magnetostrictive transducer for the generation and measurement of torsional waves consists of solenoid coils and a nickel strip bonded circumferentially to test pipes. The strip must be premagnetized by a permanent magnet before actual measurements. Because of the premagnetization, the transducer is not suitable for the long-term on-line monitoring of pipes buried underground. To avoid the cumbersome premagnetization and to improve the transduction efficiency, we propose a new transducer configuration using several pieces of nickel strips installed at 45 degrees with respect to the pipe axis. If a static bias magnetic field is also applied, the transducer output can be substantially increased. Several experiments were conducted to study the performance of the proposed transducer configuration. The proposed transducer configuration was also applied for damage detection in an aluminum pipe.
