Lateral Buckling of Subsea Pipelines Triggered by Sleeper with a Nonlinear Pipe–Soil Interaction Model

Buckle-initiation techniques, such as sleepers, are usually installed to trigger lateral buckling at pre-designated locations to release the axial compressive forces induced by thermal loading. Taking the nonlinear pipe–soil interaction model into account, a mathematical model is proposed to investi...
