... and its own weight, it assumes a catenary shape. The loads, such as currents, waves, and platform movements, can modify this shape. Even in these circumstances, the pipe will need to deal with bending. – Interlocked carcass: This layer is designed to deal with crushing loads due to the external...

... Design Foundation Flexible pipes are composed by many layers that can be roughly divided into two major groups: cylindrical and helical layers. The cylindrical layers are, majorly, the plastic layers. Their main function is to provide waterproofness and maintain the other components in position...
