Numerical Study on Flexible Pipe End Fitting Progressive Failure Behavior Based on Cohesive Zone Model

Flexible pipes are extensively used to connect seabed and floating production systems for the development of deep-water oil and gas. In the top connection area, end fitting (EF) is the connector between the flexible pipe and floating platform, as a critical component for structural failure. To addre...
