Cai, Jie (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yang, Yazhou (author), Lodewijks, Gabriel (author), Wang, Minchang (author)A corrosion defect is recognized as one of the most severe phenomena for high-pressure pipelines, especially those served for a long time. Finite-element method and empirical formulas are thereby used for the strength prediction of such pipes with corrosion. However, it is time-consuming for finite-element method and there is a limited...journal article 2022
