Numerical analysis of detaching and wrinkling of mechanically lined pipe during its spooling-on stage to the reel

The structural behavior of mechanically lined pipes (MLPs) during the spooling-on phase is investigated in this paper, motivated by their promising offshore applications relying on reel installation. By applying quasi 2D models, we first investigated the gripping stresses preserved in the MLP after...
