Structural Mechanics and Design of Metal Pipes: A systematic approach for onshore and offshore pipelines presents a unified and systematic approach to understanding and analyzing the structural behavior of onshore and offshore metallic pipelines. Following an overview of pipeline engineering and pipe fabrication, the mechanics of elastic rings and cylinders is presented as a prelude to structural performance of metal pipes under various loading conditions, which involve pressure and structural loads. The book also discusses special topics, such as geohazards and strain-based design, large-diameter water pipelines, global buckling and mechanically-lined pipes, and outlines approaches for developing state-of-the-art finite element models. In all topics addressed in this book, the mechanical behavior of pipes is related with specific design methods for onshore and offshore pipelines.

Spyros A. Karamanos is Professor of Structural Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece. He has a Diploma in Civil Engineering from NTU Athens, Greece, and a PhD in Structural Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, USA. From 2016-2019 he also served as Chair of Structural Engineering at The University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. He teaches Structural Mechanics and Finite Element Methods, and specializes in structural performance of energy infrastructure systems, with emphasis on pipeline mechanics and integrity. His research focuses on buckling and fatigue of steel pipelines, and tubular structures, using finite element models supported by experimental testing. His research has been supported by numerous research projects with the participation of industrial partners. He has published over 85 papers in refereed journals, over 150 papers in conference proceedings, and 2 books.
