• A fracture-propagation-control model for pipelines transporting CO2-rich mixtures including a new method for material-model calibration 

      Nordhagen, Håkon Ottar; Munkejord, Svend Tollak; Hammer, Morten; Gruben, Gaute; Fourmeau, Marion; Dumoulin, Stephane (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This work considers a predictive numerical modelling approach for fracture-propagation control in CO2-transport pipelines, an area where current engineering tools do not work. Fluid-structure interaction model simulations ...
    • Calibration of Pipeline Steel Model for Computational Running Ductile Fracture Assessment 

      Gruben, Gaute; Dumoulin, Stephane; Nordhagen, Håkon Ottar; Hammer, Morten; Munkejord, Svend Tollak (ISOPE - International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference. Proceedings;29, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A novel fracture calibration method is presented for material models applied in finite element analysis of pipeline steels exposed to running ductile fracture. The calibration is based on the drop-weight tear test which ...
    • Determination of Ductile Fracture Parameters of a Dual-Phase Steel by Optical Measurements 

      Gruben, Gaute; Vysochinskiy, Dmitry; Coudert, Térence; Reyes, Aase Gavina Roberg; Lademo, Odd-Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Marciniak–Kuczynski and Nakajima tests of the dual-phase steel Docol 600DL (www.ssab.com/) have been carried out for a range of stress-states spanning from uniaxial tension to equi-biaxial tension. The deformation histories ...
    • Ductile Fracture of Steel Sheets under Dynamic Membrane Loading 

      Gruben, Gaute; Morin, David; Langseth, Magnus; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Failure prediction assessment is conducted based on validated finite element simulations of impact tests performed on 1.8 mm dual-phase and 1.0 mm martensitic steel sheets. The sheets were clamped between two steel rings ...
    • Low-velocity impact behaviour and failure of stiffened steel plates 

      Gruben, Gaute; Sølvernes, S; Berstad, Torodd; Morin, David; Hopperstad, Odd Sture; Langseth, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The behaviour and failure of stiffened steel plates subjected to transverse loading by an indenter is studied in this paper. Low-velocity dynamic and quasi-static tests of stiffened plates with geometry adopted from a ...
    • Strain localization and ductile fracture in advanced high-strength steel sheets 

      Gruben, Gaute; Morin, David; Langseth, Magnus; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      An experimental-numerical approach is applied to determine the strain localization and ductile fracture of high-strength dual-phase and martensitic steel sheet materials. To this end, four different quasi-static material ...
    • Thermo-mechanical tensile testing of geothermal casing materials 

      Gruben, Gaute; Dillingh, Bert; Kaldal, Gunnar Skulason; Hoang, Nguyen-Hieu; Wollenweber, Jens; Rørvik, Gisle; Thorbjornsson, Ingólfur Ö; Nyhus, Bård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Ultra-high temperature geothermal wells (>450 °C) have a large potential for increased energy yield as compared to conventional high-temperature geothermal wells (200-300 °C), but several research challenges must be resolved ...
