On May 21, 2009, the Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued an Advisory Bulletin (PHMSA-2009-0148) entitled, “Potential for Low and Variable Yield, Tensile Strength and Chemical Compositions in High Strength Line Pipe” [1] recommending that pipeline operators investigate whether recently constructed pipelines contain pipe joints not meeting the minimum specification requirements (74FR2390). Based on PHMSA’s technical reviews, high resolution deformation tool inspection combined with comprehensive infield verification has been recommended in accordance with the “Interim Guidelines for Confirming Pipe Strength in Pipe Susceptible to Low Yield Strength,” issued by PHMSA in September 2009[2]. Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) underwent a detailed program of engineering and assessment in order to proactively demonstrate compliance with the interim guidelines. This paper discusses the process, inspection results and infield verifications performed by the pipeline operator. In particular, detailed consideration to the methodology of detection and assessment of potential pipeline expansions is presented with discussion on the special considerations needed for low level anomaly identification, reporting and verification of expansions as defined in the PHMSA guidelines. High resolution caliper analysis approaches developed for this particular application are discussed and appropriate techniques are recommended that consider the effects of possible asymmetry of expansions and impact of other deformations such as ovality. Field verification practices and findings are reviewed in detail with particular focus on the challenges facing the pipeline operator in resolving both tool and in-field measurement errors that can significantly impact the number of identifiable candidate expansions for verification. In conclusion, an overview of the assessment criteria and field activity to comply with the PHMSA interim guidelines are presented along with the lessons learned from the analysis, verification and remediation steps that may assist other pipeline operators as they address these newly established regulatory requirements.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that respond to an applied magnetic field with a change in their rheological properties. Upon application of a magnetic field, MR fluids have a variable yield strength. Altering the strength of the applied magnetic field will control the yield stress of these fluids. In this paper, the method for measuring the yield stress of MR fluids is proposed. The curves between the yield stress of the MR fluid and the applied magnetic field are obtained from the experiment. The result indicates that with the increase of the applied magnetic field the yield stress of the MR fluids goes up rapidly.

The Bauschinger effect is one of the fundamental properties of most metal alloys exposed to plastic deformation under non-monotonic loading. Development of the methods for quantifying this effect is one the important issues of the theory of plasticity. Calculation of the parameter characterizing the aforementioned effect is required for determination of the stress state in plastically deformable blanks upon pressure metal treatment. The value of the parameter (determined in standard tensile tests followed by subsequent compression of samples) is defined by the ratio of the conditional yield strength of the sample under compression to the value of the preliminary tensile stress. A series of cylindrical samples (~10 pcs.) is usually taken for tensile-compression tests. According to the traditional procedure, long-size standard specimens are pre-stretched to various degrees of plastic deformation. After that short specimens are cut out from those specimens for compression tests to determine the conditional compressive yield strength with a tolerance of 0.2% for plastic deformation. Such a procedure is rather time consuming and expensive. We propose and develop a new single-model method for estimating the Bauschinger effect which consists in testing of a single long-size specimen for tension followed by compression of the specimen in a special device providing deformation of a previously stretched specimen without flexure under conditions of a linear stress state. The device was designed, manufactured and underwent the appropriate tests. The device contains supporting elements in the form of conical-shaped sectors that prevent flexure of a long cylindrical specimen upon compression, a ratio of the working part length to diameter ranges from 5 to 10. The results of experimental determination of the parameter β characterizing the indicated effect are presented. The results of comparing the values of the parameter β determined by the developed and traditional methods revealed the possibility of determining the parameter β using the proposed method. To reduce the complexity of performing tests related to determination of the parameter β we approximated it in the form of an exponent as a function of the magnitude of plastic deformation and determine the only one value of β0 under plastic deformations exceeding 0.05. In this regard, β0 can be considered a new characteristic of the material. The calculated data are in good agreement with the experimental results. The values of β0 are determined for a number of studied steel grades.

The allowable strength was compared with the yield strength of CFT short columns subjected to constant axial force and horizontal force in previous studies. The yield strength of CFT columns is determined by 2/3 of compressive force of concrete in most cases. And the yield strength of CFT columns is smaller than the allowable strength. However, as an important index representing the damage state of CFT column, the stress state of steel tube when the CFT column reaches the short-term allowable strength is not clarified. The objective of this study is to make clear whether the steel tube yielded when the short-term allowable strength of square CFT column is reached by an analytical method. The analytical parameters are the effective length to depth ratio, axial force ratio and width to thickness ratio. The range of parameters in the cases which the steel tubes yield before the CFT columns reaches the allowable strength are shown and the decrease of stiffness in these cases are discussed.

This paper concerns the plastic collapse of an elastic/perfectly plastic medium with randomly variable yield strength under a fixed load. The yield strength is represented by a Gaussian random field of known statistical properties. Using the theorems of limit analysis and the methods of reliability theory, algorithms are developed for the computation of upper and lower bounds on the probability of plastic collapse. By varying the magnitude of the fixed load, bounds on the probability distribution function for the collapse load can be computed. Results are given for uniform pressure applied to a rectangular region of the surface of an elastic/plastic half-space. For the corresponding plane problem, results for the classical Hill and Prandtl failure mechanisms are compared. Three-dimensional results are found to differ significantly from those of the plane problem. Comparison is made with results of a previous approximate method for three-dimensional problems.

The combined criterion, which includes forming effectiveness indicator and the I.L. Perlin’s safety margin is proposed. Interdependencies for different criteria for the shape of the deformation zone are given. Suggested indicators for assessing of the shape of plastic deformation zone are simpler than delta criterion used in the foreing theory of drawing. For different hardening models, the results for the calculation of the axial stress, the absolute safety margin, the I.L. Perlin’s wire safety margin, V.L. Kolmogorov’s stress state indicator stress state indicator and the proposed criteria for assessing of the forming effectiveness when drawing round solid profile depending on the drawing coefficient, drawing angle and criteria for the shape of the plastic deformation zone. In the plastic deformation zone with equal average yield strength, the equality of the strain indicators of the wire is not ensured if hardening curves of material are different. In particular, when the drawing coefficient ensures equal yield strength for different hardening curves and is equal to the initial yield strength, the drawing stress is more at more convex shape of the hardening curve. At the optimum drawging angle, when the minimum axial stress, the maximum values of the safety margin indicators and the proposed criteria for the forming effectiveness and the minimum stress state indicator are observed. Equal minimum values of the drawing stress when varying the drawing angle, the length of the plastic deformation zone or other criteria. The nature of the relationship between the stress state indicators, the safety margin and the forming effectiveness is shown. With different hardening models of lines for the relationship of the I.L. Perlin’s safety margin and V.L. Kolmogorov’s stress state indicator are located along one curve, as are the lines for the relationship between the dimensionless axial stress and the stress state indicator. With the strain parameters, when the drawing stress under the action of back tension is less than this stress in the absence of back tension, the safety margin and the new combined forming effectiveness indicator are more under the action of back tension. This is possible with intensive hardening of the wire material in the draft of drawing, reduced drawing angles and increased values of drawing and friction coefficients. Different values of strain indicators of steel 12Kh18N10T wire after quenching and annealing are shown.
