Abstract
Methods and apparatus for pipeline component design are described. Input parameters and output parameters for the component design are identified. An analytic model is constructed using a design of experiments technique to represent influence of the input parameters on the output parameters. Value sets for the input parameters which meet a selection criterion for at least one of the output parameters are then identified. Finite element analysis is conducted on the identified value sets, and a pipeline component design choice is identified from results of the finite element analysis. Pipeline components are then manufactured according to the identified design.
