Submarine pipeline is a key part in the development of deep sea and ultra-deep sea oil and gas. In order to reduce the ovality of pipes and improve their compressive strength, a two-roller continuous calibration (TRCC) process by compression is proposed. A springback analysis of compress bending is carried out, and an analytical model is established, which predicts ovality after calibration and provides a theoretical basis for roller shape design and process parameter formulation. Numerical simulation and physical experiments are carried out. The distribution of stress and strain is analyzed. The effects of initial ovality, reduction ratio and initial placement angle on the ovality after calibration are studied. When the reduction ratio is about 1%, the ovality is optimal. The theoretical analysis shows that the ovality after calibration is about 0.03%, and the ovality after calibration by numerical simulation and experiment is less than 0.45%, proving the feasibility of the process.

As an important carrier of electricity power, ACSR is a principal part of power system and is directly related to the transmission line reliability and safety. ACSR strands stress analysis is the foundation of studying ACSR mechanical properties. In this paper, finite element method is used to analysis the Acsr strands stress. The structural characteristics of Acsr is considered and the complete Acsr model is created by ansys to simulate the distribution of stress and strain under appropriate boundary conditions. The Conclusions are drawn that both the state of strands stress and the stress concentration level are related with its structural properties. The strands of out layers bears more stress and firstly comes into plastic strain. The results of the research is helpful to the further study of ACSR strength and conductor fatigue life.

Effects of deformation temperature and strain rate on deformation behavior of semi-solid 6061 alloy were investigated on Gleeble3800 thermal-mechanical simulator. On basis of the experimental data of semi-solid 6061, a model was established to describe the relationship between the processing parameters and flow stress, which showed that the experimental results and calculation ones fitted well. It would be beneficial to realize the distribution of stress and strain during the semi-solid forming on the basis of numerical simulation technology. This research paper presented the numerical simulation results of the 6061 alloy during the backward extrusion thixoforming process.

Numerical simulation and experiment of self-piercing riveting with solid rivet joining multi-layer aluminum sheets are carried out in this paper. The forming process of the riveting and the distribution of stress are analyzed, the results show that the simulation is consistent with the experiment. The results of experiment prove that the transition point of the cone-shaped head of the solid rivet, the size and position of groove affect directly the quality of riveting. The fillet at the transition point of the cone-shaped head of the solid rivet can decline the maximum stress of the rivet. When the distance between the center of groove and bottom of rivet is about three quarters of the bottom sheet thickness, the bottom sheet of self-piercing does not fall off. The self-piercing riveting with solid rivet joining multi-layer aluminum sheets is feasible.

In recent years, China has made certain achievements in shallow sea petroleum geological exploration and development, but the exploration of deep water areas is still in the initial stage, and the water depth in the South China Sea is generally 500 to 2000 meters, which is a deep water operation area. Although China has made some progress in the field of deep-water development of petroleum technology research, but compared with the international advanced countries in marine science and technology, there is a large gap, in the international competition is at a disadvantage, marine research technology and equipment is relatively backward, deep-sea resources exploration and development capacity is insufficient, high-end technology to foreign dependence. In order to better develop China's deep-sea oil and gas resources, it is necessary to strengthen the development of drilling and completion technology in the oil industry drilling engineering. This paper briefly describes the research overview, technical difficulties, design principles and main contents of the completion technology in deepwater drilling and completion engineering. It is expected to have some significance for the development of deepwater oil and gas fields in China.

<p>Landslide-generated waves have been major threats to coastal areas and have led to destruction and casualties. Their importance is undisputed, most recently demonstrated by the 2018 Anak Krakatau tsunami, causing several hundred fatalities. The accurate prediction of the maximum initial amplitude of landslide waves (<em>η<sub>max</sub></em>) around the source region is a vital hazard indicator for coastal impact assessment. Laboratory experiments, analytical solutions and numerical modelling are three major methods to investigate the (<em>η<sub>max</sub></em>). However, the numerical modelling approach provides a more flexible and cost- and time-efficient tool. This research presents a numerical simulation of tsunamis due to rigid landslides with consideration of submerged conditions. In particular, this simulation focuses on studying the effect of landslide parameters on <em>η<sub>max</sub>.</em> Results of simulations are compared with our conducted physical experiments at the Brunel University London (UK) to validate the numerical model.</p><p>We employ the fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics package, FLOW-3D Hydro for modelling the landslide-generated waves. This software benefit from the Volume of Fluid Method (VOF) as the numerical technique for tracking and locating the free surface. The geometry of the simulation is set up according to the wave tank of physical experiments (i.e. 0.26 m wide, 0.50 m deep and 4.0 m). In order to calibrate the simulation model based on the laboratory measurements, the friction coefficient between solid block and incline is changed to 0.41; likewise, the terminal velocity of the landslide is set to 0.87 m/s. Good agreement between the numerical solutions and the experimental results is found. Sensitivity analyses of landslide parameters (e.g. slide volume, water depth, etc.) on <em>η<sub>max </sub></em>are performed. Dimensionless parameters are employed to study the sensitivity of the initial landslide waves to various landslide parameters.</p>
