Due to the pipelay vessel motions during installation of a subsea pipeline, as-laid direction pipeline changes along nominally straight section route. In High Pressure Temperature (HPHT) presence rogue lateral Out Straightness (OoS) can adversely influence reliability buckle initiation at engineered buckling sites e.g. sleepers. This implies requirement study ensure unwanted buckles are not for...

Exposure of implanted episcleral element is a rare complication of buckling procedures. We describe a 40-year-old man who presented to our clinic complaining of foreign body sensation and irritation in his left eye which lasted several months. The patient history was positive for bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment which was treated with sclera buckling. Upon presentation the left eye d...

PURPOSE We describe surgical outcomes in a single-surgeon, consecutive series of patients who received scleral buckle placement for primary retinal detachment using a modified external needle drainage technique. METHODS Eighty-two eyes of 80 patients with primary retinal detachment underwent scleral buckle placement with modified external needle drainage. Preoperative, postoperative, and surg...

Feasibility and efficiency of using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) buckle arrestors in steel offshore pipelines with D/t 28 40 are investigated hyperbaric chamber tests. CFRP manufactured Prepreg (PP), Wet-Layup (WL) Vacuum Bagging (VB) curing methods, coarse fine sand surface preparations. A parametric study is performed that outlines the performance various geometric configurations. E...
