The FEM was verified against results of full-scale burst tests. The developed FEM incorporated material nonlinearity, which allows for large strains and displacements. Furthermore, true ultimate tensile strength (UTS) instead of the typical engineering UTS was employed to determine the point of failure. The pipes used in the finite element analysis (FEA) were modeled based on API 5L X52 with a length of 2000 mm, a nominal outer diameter of 300 mm, and a nominal wall thickness of 10 mm. The results obtained from the FEA were presented in a graph form and then used to determine the failure pressure trendlines of multiple longitudinally aligned interacting corrosion defects for varying defect depths and spacing between defects. In addition, the failure pressure trendlines of multiple longitudinally aligned interacting defects were compared to determine their differences. As expected, 3 longitudinally aligned interacting defects showed lower failure pressure compared to 2 longitudinally aligned interacting defects. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. publisher: Springer Nature date: 2020 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Arumugam, T. and Mohamad Rosli, M.K.A. and Karuppanan, S. and Ovinis, M. and Lo, M.
