Finite Element Analysis on the Directly Buried Heating Bent Pipeline with Many Break Angles
In order to get the optimal design scheme of a directly buried heating bent pipeline with many fold angles in a certain practical engineering, this paper simulated the pipeline by the ANSYS finite element analysis software.Through applying different boundary conditions to the model, the stress was analyzed, the destroy forms of the pipeline and the positions of stress danger points were determined,and the fatigue life was checked according to BS EN. Compared with the current design method,adopting numerical simulation analysis method has greatly reduced the number of the usage of compensators and fixed piers, broke through the restrictions for larger fold angle in the standard,and at the same time, it has reduced the construction difficulties and the engineering investment,improved the reliability of the network,this paper has guiding significance to the engineering practice.
