Simulation external pipe corrosion of a steel pipe in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation external pipe corrosion of a steel pipe in Abaqus has been investigated. The steel pipe is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. The defect is considered as a radial arc on the external surface of the pipe. You can see a figure of the assembled part below

Pipeline corrosion is the oxidisation and electrochemical breakdown of the structure of a pipe used to convey any substance. Pipeline corrosion occurs on both the inside and outside of any pipe and related structures, exposed to corrosive elements.The corrosion of steel piping and its related components is a continuous and virtually unstoppable process. The end product, rust, is the result of an electrochemical reaction through which the higher energy processed metal is slowly reverted back to its naturally occurring form

The steel material with elastic-plastic model is selected. The general static step is so appropriate for this type of analysis.The internal pressure is applied to the internal surface of the pipe. The two ends of the pipe is fixed. The mesh should be fine to obtain the correct results

After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain,defect location, displacement,… You can see some figures for the results below
