Pondus
Pondus is a program that computes the dynamic lateral response of offshore pipelines subjected to wave and current action on a seabed. Pondus is a FEM formulation, based on 2-D elements which solves, in the time domain, the equations of motion of the pipeline in the horizontal plane using small deflection theory, but accounting for bending deformation effects on axial forces.
LINKpipe
Software tool for analysis of the criticality of cracks and defects in pipelines and piping systems. It offers fracture mechanics calculations with an accuracy proven by fullscale tests.
Structural materials will inherently have cracks and defects. Steel structures like pipelines are subject to extreme loading conditions, thus defects may grow during installation and operation.
During the design phase allowable defect sizes
that ensure safe installation and operation over the lifetime of the pipeline is determined.
