Strain-based assessments are widely used throughout the industry to estimate the likelihood of cracking in dents. Our in-house developed point-wise calculation of longitudinal membrane strainRefers to the stress and deformation that a pipeline experiences due to external forces, such as ground movement, soil settlement, or external loading.
