Critical lifetime of HDPE pipes through damage and reliability models

Damage models are not directly applicable on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. In this paper, static and strain-unified theory damage models are adapted to fit the HDPE case by substituting the dynamic tests’ endurance limits by preloading simulation through notch and stiffness evaluation. The...
