Popis: In this paper, the fatigue performance of X65 marine pipeline is domestically studied by means of full-scale fatigue tests (four-point bending + inner pressure), in which all the influencing factors, such as welding residual stress, stress concentration, initial defects, internal pressure shutdown and pressure fluctuation are taken into consideration comprehensively. Consequently, the fatigue cycles under different stress amplitude can be derived and applied to predicting the full-scale fatigue life of pipes quantitatively. Additionally, the test results are compared with the recommended data of international general standards, such as BS 7608 and DNV C203, by which the fatigue safety of pipes could be evaluated. Therefore, this study is not only beneficial to the accumulation of full-scale fatigue data of pipes, but also can provide quantitative basis for evaluating the fatigue life and ensuring the safety operation cycles of pipes.
