  • First Online:
Monotonic and Ultra-Low-Cycle Fatigue Behaviour of Pipeline Steels

Abstract

This chapter presents results of a testing programme of large-scale cyclic tests carried out on pipeline components manufactured with X52, X60 and X65 steel grades. Those tests cover distinct loading scenarios and geometries and were performed until final failure.
