Finite Element Modeling Aspects of Buried Large Diameter Steel Pipe–Butterfly Valve Interaction
Buried flexible pipes are allowed to deflect up to 2–5% of the pipe diameter, which can become problematic for the connected direct-bury, large-diameter butterfly valves. The complex behavior of the pipe–valve–soil system makes it difficult to predict the deflection of the pipe/valve system. In the...
