Structural analysis of flexible pipes and umbilical cables: a bimaterial finite element modeling technique and a novel experimental approach using a digital image correlation system.

The Finite Element Method is a powerful and widespread tool for the structural analysis of flexible pipes and umbilicals. However, it is unfeasible to represent in detail all layers and components of a flexible pipe or umbilical cable in a Finite Element (FE) model, since the calculation time would...
