• Bending instabilities of elastic tubes 

      Karamanos, S. A. (2002)
      The present paper examines instabilities of long thin elastic tubes. Both initially straight and initially bent tubes are analyzed under in-plane bending. Tube response, a combination of ovalization instability and bifurcation ...
    • Denting of internally pressurized tubes under lateral loads 

      Karamanos, S. A.; Andreadakis, K. P. (2006)
      The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal pressure. First, tubes are modeled with ...
    • Lateral loading of internally pressurized steel pipes 

      Gresnigt, A. M.; Karamanos, S. A.; Andreadakis, K. P. (2007)
      This paper examines the denting response of pipes subjected to lateral (transverse) quasistatic wedge loading, in the presence of internal pressure. Pipes are modeled with nonlinear shell finite elements and a simplified ...
    • Nonlinear response and failure of steel elbows under in-plane bending and pressure 

      Karamanos, S. A.; Giakoumatos, E.; Gresnigt, A. M. (2003)
      The paper investigates the response of elbows under in-plane bending and pressure, through nonlinear finite element tools, supported by experimental results from real-scale tests. The finite element analysis is mainly based ...
