Estimate of Burst Strength of Dents in Pipe

Submitted by Kayode J. Ijaola on

Hi all,

I am a master student doing an analysis to estimate the burst strength of dented pipes, I have been able to model the indenter and pipe. I did a non-linear analysis to create the dent but my problem is how to remove the indenter and apply pressure to come about the burst. please how do I achieve this kind of analysis. I would be very grateful to contributors and examples that would help me solve the problem. The model is being done using ANSYS 11.0
