• CFRP strengthening of steel pipe elbows subjected to cyclic loading 

      Skarakis I., Chatzopoulou G., Tsouvalis N.G., Karamanos S.A., Pournara A.E. (2016)
      In order to ensure safe operation and structural integrity of pipeline and piping systems, it is sometimes necessary to strengthen specific sections of pipelines and piping systems. Recognizing the variety of mode failures ...
    • STRUCTURAL RESPONSE OF SUBSEA PIPE ELBOWS UNDER MONOTONIC AND CYCLIC LOADING 

      Varelis G.E., Dib E., Karamanos S.A. (2022)
      Pipe bends (elbows) are commonly used components in subsea piping systems. They are quite flexible compared to the corresponding straight pipes and are used to reduce the reaction forces and moments at the supports and the ...
    • Ultimate capacity of pipe bends under bending and pressure 

      Pappa, P.; Karamanos, S. A.; Tsouvalas, D.; Houliara, S. (2008)
      The structural capacity of pressurized pipe elbows under in-plane bending is examined. The investigation is conducted through advanced finite element analysis tools. The numerical results are successfully compared with ...
