Abstract
Denting, caused by working condition and by rocks or external objects during the
laying process, is an important failure mode of steel pipes. To study the failure
mechanism of a steel pipe, steel pipe behavior with longitudinal, transverse, and tilted
PT
displacement on the pipe mechanical behavior were studied. The results showed that
RI
plastic deformation occurred mainly at the dent, where there was an obvious stress
SC
concentration. The plastic deformation of the pipe continued to increase during the
unloading process. The axial strain at the dent location was compressive strain. Dent’s
NU
rebound rate ( depth ratio of the dent after loading and unloading) of the pipe
MA
increased with increasing the diameter-thickness ratio and decreased with increasing
the indenter displacement. With transverse denting, both sides of the dent were more
D
dangerous than the dent location. The force-displacement curve for the pipe subjected

to a tilted dent was different than those for longitudinal and transverse denting. There

1. Introduction
Long-distance pipes are the main method for transporting oil and gas[1]. In
collapse, is one of the most important failure modes for oil and gas pipes and may
PT
lead to the oil and gas leakage that can result in fire and explosion. Pipes are easily
RI
pressed upon by rocks or hard objects during the laying process and due to working
SC
conditions. Then, a dent may appear on the pipe that causes a local stress and strain
concentration and a local reduction in the pipe diameter[2]. A dent in a pipe can be
NU
defined as a permanent plastic deformation or as a major and sharp distortion of the
MA
circular cross section and causes local stress and stress and strain concentration.
Damage in the form of dents is one of the most common causes of pipe failures [3].
D
For the internal pressure fluctuation, deformation on the pipe’s dent location is
E
changing. Thus, fatigue failure of the dented pipe would more likely occur under
PT
cleaning and wall-condition monitoring, limit a pipe’s maximum allowable dent depth
[4].
Dent depth is defined as the maximum reduction in the pipe diameter. There are
different types of pipe dents, defined according to their impact on the pipe wall
dimensions and geometry [5]: smooth dent; kinked dent; plain dent; unconstrained
In 1980, Furness [6]studied the local dent behavior of tubular members, based on
a rigid-plastic approach, and the derived expression has been used in API RP
2A-WSD. Eiber [7] found that a plain smooth dent with a depth of up to 8% of the
pipe diameter did not significantly alter the pipe burst strength. Jones [8] found that a
plain smooth dent with a depth of up to 24% of the pipe diameter had a little effect on
PT
the pipe burst strength. Ellinas [9] derived an expression for the load-deflection
RI
response of the dented pipe based on a semi-empirical method. Based on the
SC
rigid-plastic method, Wierzbicki and Suh [10] studied the deformation behavior of the
pipes under axial force and denting load, the theoretical analysis of the pipe’s plastic
NU
deformation is presented. Chen [11] performed 226 impact tests on mild steel pipes
MA
and discussed the influences of pipe geometry, impact position and internal pressure
on the critical value of the initial impact energy. Ruggieri [12] experimentally and
D
numerically surveyed the structural behavior of dented pipes under dent loads, and
E
found that the growth of the dented region produces a significant reduction of the pipe
PT
section modulus section which strongly affects pipe strength. Lu [13] presented a
CE
and finite element simulation, Firouzsalari and Showkati [14] studied the deformation
and strain behavior of pre-compressed steel pipes. The mechanical behavior of a pipe
has a strong relationship to the object shape and size. Pluvinage [15] developed the
assessing methods for pipe defects. Firouzsalari [16] investigated the free-spanned
pipe behavior due to axial forces and local loads, and found that pre-loading has a
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
marked effect on the lateral strength and deformation behavior of the pipes. Ghaednia
[17] examined the influence of various parameters such as dent shape and service
pressure on strain distributions of dented pipe, and discussed the strain distributions in
and around the dent. Lancaster [18] measured strains and displacements in previously
dented aluminium pipes subject to increasing internal pressure, the results had used to
PT
the assessment of a gouge within a dent. Brooker [19] examined quasi-static denting
RI
of buried pipes under lateral loading from excavator machinery fitted with rectangular
SC
cross-section bucket teeth. A semi-analytical solution for the load-deflection response
was presented.
NU
Types of contact between the external objects and pipe were also not considered in
MA
these studies. Spherical objects have been studied, but a columnar object (cross
sections are the same along axial direction, as shows in Fig.1) has been rarely
D
different from the objects with other shapes. In this study, the stress, deformation, and
PT
tilted directions were investigated using numerical simulation. The effects of the
AC
Taking columnar objects as an example, there are three contact types between the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
external object and pipe; longitudinal contact, transverse contact, and tilted contact.
They can result in three kinds of dents with different shapes, longitudinal dent,
transverse dent, and tilted dent. The schematic diagram of the indenter compressing
the pipe is shown in Fig.1. The shape of the indenter was a triangular prism. The
contact area with the pipe was an arc with 100-mm radius. The indenter length was
PT
greater than the pipe diameter. The pipe diameter was 508mm, and the pipe length
RI
was six times the diameter. The initial pipe thickness was 8mm. Four-node,
SC
reduced-integration shell elements were used for modeling the cylindrical pipe
A large-strain plasticity model with isotropic hardening was used for the steel pipe
material. Numerical results were obtained for X65 steel pipes; X65 is a typical steel
D
material used in oil and gas pipe applications [20]. The stress-strain curve of X65 is
E
shown in Fig.2. Its yield stress is 488MPa, the Young’s modulus is 210GPa, Poisson’s
PT
ratio is 0.3, and density is 7800kg/m3. The displacement load was applied to the
CE
indenter in the simulation process. After the indenter displacement reached the
AC
maximum value (it is defined as initial indenter displacement in this paper), then it is
reduced to zero. Therefore, there were two loading processes; one, an uploading
process, during which the indenter displacement was applied; the other, which was an
unloading process.
The experiments of the indenter and pipe were carried in reference [21]. A local
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
load was applied by a transverse-oriented indenter made from strong hardened steel to
the top surface of the specimens. The angle of the head of the indenter was 90°. The
head of the indenter was rounded to a radius of 2 mm. The length of the pipe is 2m,
Fig.3 shows the deformation of the pipe tested by experiment and numerical
PT
simulation. There is a dent with “V” shape in the pipe, and lower part of the pipe is
RI
squashed for the rigid base. Fig.4 shows the load-displacement curves of the pipe that
SC
tested by the two methods. The error between the numerical simulation and
experiment results is small. Therefore, the numerical model is reliable. But there is a
NU
error between the two load-displacement curves.

3. Simulation results
The deformation process of the pipe under longitudinal denting, with an initial
D
which the indenter was removed as shown in Fig.5. During the loading process, a dent
PT
appeared on the pipe due to the action of the indenter, and the dent depth increased
CE
with increasing indenter displacement. During the unloading process, elastic rebound
AC
occurred at the deformed area. However, there was a permanent plastic deformation
of the pipe wall after the indenter was removed. The dent shape had a strong
relationship to the indenter shape. For this columnar indenter, the bottom of the dent
was flat.
Fig.6 shows the force-displacement curve for the pipe undergoing longitudinal
denting. There were five stages of the force- displacement curve. The first stage was
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
the elastic stage, before K1, where there was only elastic deformation. Plastic
deformation appeared on the pipe wall between K1 and K2. There was a plateau
between K2 and K3. In this stage, the dent depth increased but the indenter force did
not change. After K3, the indenter force increased with increasing dent depth in a
nonlinear rule. It was an unloading process after K4, wherein elastic rebound occurred
PT
on the deformed wall. When the indenter was removed from the pipe wall, the dent
RI
remained on the pipe wall.
SC
The deformation process of the pipe with transverse denting is shown in Fig.7.
The dent was V-shaped in the longitudinal section. Fig.8 shows the force-
NU
displacement curve of the pipe with transverse denting. The curve shape for the
MA
transverse denting was different than that for longitudinal denting. There was also a
plateau stage in the curve, but it was very short and not very obvious. The
D
force-displacement could also be divided into five stages. During the unloading
E
process, the force-displacement curve was a curve rather than a straight line, so, there
PT
was not only elastic rebound but also plastic deformation near the dent area.
CE
The deformation process of the pipe subjected to tilted denting is shown in Fig.9.
AC
There was a tilted dent on the pipe wall. The cross section of the pipe near the dent
was an oval. Rebound occurred during the unloading process. Fig.10 shows the
force-displacement curve for the pipe undergoing tilted denting. The force curve
shape for tilted denting was different from those for longitudinal and transverse
denting. There was no plateau stage in the force curve. The force-displacement curve
can be divided into four stages; the elastic deformation stage (0~K1), the initial plastic
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
deformation stage (K1~K2), the plastic deformation stage (K2~K4), and the rebound
stage (K4~K5). During the unloading process, the force-displacement curve was a

4.1.1 Stress and strain analysis
RI
The von Mises stress of the pipe in different stages is shown in Fig.11. In the
SC
elastic stage, the high stress area appeared only at the contact interface between the
indenter and pipe wall. This high stress area was mainly on the upper part of the pipe,
NU
and it increased along the axial and circumferential directions with increasing indenter
MA
displacement. There were two lower-stress areas that occurs within the high stress
area of the dent. When the dent depth reached the maximum value, the maximum
D
stress appeared in the dent area. After unloading the indenter, the high stress area and
E
the maximum stress decreased. The high stress area appeared on the outer edge of the
PT
dent.
CE
The equivalent plastic strain of the pipe undergoing longitudinal denting is shown
AC
in Fig.12. Plastic deformation was mainly at the dent; there was no plastic
deformation of the lower part of the pipe. The maximum equivalent plastic strain was
in the locations that contacted the ends of the indenter. When the dent depth was less
than 0.02m, the equivalent plastic strains at the two points were the same. This means
that there was no obvious dent on the pipe. When the dent depth increased, the
equivalent plastic strain of the pipe increased, gradually. For the middle point M, the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
equivalent plastic strain increased, but the change rate decreased. For point N, the
equivalent plastic strain increased at a constant change rate when the dent depth was
less than 0.05m. Then, it changed very little as the loading increased. During the
unloading process, the equivalent plastic strain of the pipe also increased. After the
elastic rebound of the pipe was completed, the equivalent plastic strain did not
PT
change.
RI
In its final stage, the axial strain distribution of the pipe undergoing longitudinal
SC
denting is shown in Fig.13. The axial strain at the pipe dent location was compressive
strain. The axial strain on both sides of the dent was tensile strain. The axial strain
NU
curve at the middle axial line shows that compressive strain appeared on the top of the
MA
pipe. The maximum compressive axial strain is not in the middle part of the pipe, but,
rather, in the locations that contacted the ends of the indenter. This was directly
D
caused by the ends of the indenter with a sharp structure. Therefore, cracks might
E
appear at the bottom of the dent. The maximum compressive strain was far greater
PT
than the tensile strain, so, the dent bottom was the dangerous area. The compressive
CE
axial strain first decreased and then increased, and, finally, decreased along the axial
AC
direction in the non-contact area. So, there is a raised effect (a small crest in the curve)
The diameter-thickness ratio affects the pipe stiffness. The smaller the
diameter-thickness ratio is, the greater the pipe stiffness. Force- displacement curves
for pipes with different diameter-thickness ratios are shown in Fig.14. When the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
dent depth was constant, the indenter force that acted on the pipe increased with the
displacement curve was more serious when the diameter-thickness ratio was small.
During the unloading process, the slope of the curve increased with decreasing
PT
pipe (a larger diameter-thickness ratio).
RI
Deformation appeared on the upper part of the pipe under the action of an indenter.
SC
The longitudinal cross-sectional deformations of the pipe with various
diameter-thickness ratios are shown in Fig.15. Given the same initial indenter
NU
displacement, the final dent depth increased with decreasing diameter-thickness ratio.
MA
Therefore, thin-walled pipes with the same diameter are more prone to failure under
As shown in Fig.16, the maximum plastic strain and maximum axial strain
E
decreased with increasing diameter-thickness ratio. Thick-walled pipes are safer under
PT
the action of external objects. The rebound rate was defined as the ratio of the elastic
CE
rebound to the maximum dent depth. The rebound rate of the pipe increased as the
AC
thin-walled pipe.
For the plastic deformation and the nonlinear stages of the denting process, the
initial indenter displacement had a significant effect on the rebound rate. As shown in
Fig.17, the rebound rate of the pipe decreased with increasing initial indenter
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
displacement. This is because the local buckling was more serious as the indenter
displacement increased and the buckling deformation was more resistant to rebound.
There was a strong, nonlinear association between the indenter force and indenter
PT
Fig.18 shows the longitudinal deformation of the pipe with different indenter
RI
displacements. The permanent plastic deformation of the pipe was more severe as the
SC
initial indenter displacement increased. The length of the transition area between the
dent bottom and the no deformed pipe section increased with the increasing initial
NU
indenter displacement. The smaller the indenter displacement was, the flatter the
MA
The maximum axial strain and equivalent plastic strain of the pipe for different
D
indenter displacements are shown in Fig.19. The maximum axial strain increased with
E
increasing indenter displacement. The indenter displacement had a small effect on the
PT
plastic deformation area. When the ratio of the indenter displacement to the pipe
CE
diameter was less than 0.4, the maximum plastic strain was mainly at the bottom of
AC
the dent. When w/D was greater than 0.4, the maximum plastic strain was on both
denting. The longitudinal shape of the dent was consistent with the cross section of
the columnar indenter. At the symmetrical cross section (axial length is 0m), the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
cross-sectional deformations at the limit state (final phase of the loading) and the final
state (final phase of the unloading) were the same. The rebound rate was
approximately 29.65%.
The axial strain distribution and the strain curve of the pipe undergoing transverse
denting are shown in Fig.21. The axial strain at the dent location was larger. At the
PT
bottom of the dent, the axial strain was compressive strain. The maximum tensile
RI
strain was greater than the compressive strain. Therefore, both sides of the dent were
SC
more prone to failure than the dent location. This was different from the dent behavior
under longitudinal denting. Cracks may first appear on the sides of a dent caused by
NU
transverse denting. According to the axial strain curve of a line on the top of the pipe,
MA
the maximum axial strain was at the bottom of the dent. On the wall of the dent, the
compressive strain reduced quickly from the middle part to the outer edge. For the
D
non-contact area, the axial strain first increased and then decreased along the direction
E
The plastic deformation and equivalent plastic strain curve for the pipe subjected
CE
to transverse denting are shown in Fig.22. The maximum plastic strain of the pipe in
AC
the final stage was on both sides of the dent not in the middle of the dent. According
to the plastic strain curve of these two special points, the plastic deformation first
appeared on the top (N’-point) of the pipe. It increased with increasing dent depth,
when the dent depth was 0.05m. After this critical point, the equivalent plastic strain
of the N’-point changed little. The plastic deformation began to appear at the M’-point
when the dent depth was greater than 0.03m. The equivalent plastic strain at the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
M’-point increased with a greater rate when the dent depth was less than 0.11m. The
equivalent plastic strain at the N’-point was greater than that at M’-point when the
dent depth was less than 0.078m. The maximum equivalent plastic strain was at the
M’-point for a dent depth greater than 0.078m. During the unloading process, the
plastic strain at the N’-point changed little, but the change in the plastic strain at the
PT
M’-point was large.
RI
Fig.23 shows the von Mises stress of the pipe under transverse denting. When the
SC
indenter load was small, the high stress area was mainly on the top of the pipe. The
high stress area expanded in the circumferential and axial directions. During the
NU
loading process, the stress distribution shape changed from an oval to a four-pointed
MA
star, and, finally, became hexagonal. After the unloading process, the stress at the
non-buckling locations decreased. There was an obvious stress concentration, and the
D
maximum residual stress was mainly at the dent location. Therefore, the dent location

Fig.24 shows the von Mises stress distribution for the pipe subjected tilted denting.
AC
The stress distribution of the pipe was antisymmetric around the pipe center. In the
elastic stage, the high stress area only appeared at the contact area between the
indenter and the pipe. The high stress area increased along the axial and
stress was at the bottom of the tilted dent. After unloading the indenter, the high stress
area decreased, but the maximum residual stress was still at the bottom of the dent.
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
The stress concentrations on both sides of the dent were more serious.
Fig.25 shows the plastic deformation and equivalent plastic strain for the pipe
subjected tilted denting. Plastic deformation only appeared on the upper part of the
pipe. According to the plastic strain curve of the two special points, the plastic
deformation first appeared in the middle part of the pipe, and then occurred at both
PT
sides of the dent. During the unloading process, the plastic strain of the pipe continued
RI
to increase.
SC
The axial strain distribution and strain curve for the pipe undergoing tilted denting
are shown in Fig.26. The maximum compressive strain was greater than the tensile

strain. Therefore, the dent location was the most dangerous. The pipe’s dent behavior

under tilted denting was different than those under longitudinal and transverse denting.

The contact locations between the pipe and the ends of the indenter were prone to
failure. The pipe’s equivalent plastic strain continued to increase during the unloading
process. The rebound rate of the pipe increased with increasing diameter-thickness
