For underground pipelines, the pipeline safety is seriously threatened by various abnormal conditions, including pipe leakage, mechanical impact, earth excavation, third-party intrusion and natural disaster. Therefore, real-time monitoring of abnormal conditions is an effective way to ensure the safety of underground pipelines. In this paper, a fiber-optic vibration sensing system is used to monitor underground pipelines. Deep learning-based methods are proposed for detection and recognition of abnormal pipeline conditions. The detection method integrates a deep scattering network (DSN) with kernel support matrix domain description (KSMDD). The DSN firstly extracts the deep time-frequency features of vibration signals obtained by the fiber-optic sensing system. The KSMDD is then applied on signal feature matrices to define a statistical index for abnormal condition detection. The recognition method integrates a DSN with a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network to extract signal features for recognizing different types of abnormal conditions. Experimental results illustrate that the abnormal condition detection and recognition methods have a false alarm rate of 1 %, a detection rate larger than 99 %, and a recognition accuracy higher than 99 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 105561"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144105445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis results of a 1-pass weld with prior surface machining proved that the annealing effect can be introduced owing to the recrystallization phenomenon caused by welding thermal cycle. Therefore, it was necessary to introduce a suitable annealing temperature into the FEM simulation to simulate this phenomenon. To establish a propriate annealing temperature, the 20 % and 30 % pre-strained cold-rolled specimens were subjected to peak temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1300 °C, held at the peak temperature for 1 s, and their corresponding hardness was measured. The results showed that when the annealing temperature is approximately 1050 °C, the resulting hardness aligns with that of solution-treated specimens. To verify the accuracy of the proposed annealing temperature in the FEM simulation, this determined annealing temperature (1050 °C) was then applied in the FEM model to estimate the residual stress after 7-layer welding, with the results validated through measurements. The good agreement between the simulated residual stress and the measured results follows that the proposed annealing temperature of 1050 °C in FEM simulation is reasonable and effective.

Based on model and experimental verification, the temperature and residual stress fields during the welding process are analyzed. Hydrogen diffusion simulations are conducted using diffusion parameters from different regions and weld passes of the pipeline girth weld to investigate the influence of residual stress on the hydrogen diffusion behavior in the weld. The results indicate that the temperature field and residual stress field calculated using the segmented double ellipsoid heat source model show good agreement with experimental data, with computational times being 1/3 of those for the double ellipsoid heat source model, respectively. Regarding the hydrogen diffusion coefficient, the diffusion coefficients in the heat-affected zone and weld metal increased to varying degrees compared to the base metal due to the influence of grain structure and dislocation density. Moreover, welding residual stress promotes the diffusion and accumulation of hydrogen, with the maximum hydrogen concentration in the weld centre region increasing by 3.3 times compared to when residual stress is not considered, while the steady-state time is reduced to 5.2E5 seconds.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 105556"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143948310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acoustic emission (AE) technology has emerged as a promising alternative due to its non-destructive nature and minimal environmental impact. However, its effectiveness is significantly hindered by environmental noise, which degrades the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and complicates leakage detection. To address this challenge, we propose an optimized VMD-wavelet denoising method tailored for AE-based leakage detection. Our approach introduces three key innovations: Adaptive VMD parameter optimization using the Northern Goshawk Optimization (NGO) algorithm, ensuring optimal mode decomposition; Correlation-based IMF selection, effectively filtering out irrelevant components to enhance signal clarity; and Improved wavelet threshold denoising, which refines high-frequency components to maximize noise suppression while preserving leakage-related features. Extensive experiments on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms conventional approaches, increasing the SNR from 20.27 to 30.58 (approximately a 50% increase) and achieving a high average leakage detection accuracy of 94.63%.

This investigation examines the degree of sensitization and intergranular corrosion susceptibility in a simulated repair scenario. The experimental setup involved creating a gouged groove (6–7 mm depth) adjacent to the heat-affected zone (HAZ) using air carbon arc gouging (ACAG), followed by rewelding <em>via</em> submerged arc welding (SAW). Welded joints were analyzed under three surface preparation conditions after gouging: i) no cleaning, ii) brushing, and iii) rectifying. Electrochemical evaluation was conducted using the double loop potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) technique in accordance with ISO 12732:2017, while susceptibility to intergranular corrosion was assessed using ASTM A262-15, Practice A, oxalic acid etching tests. The results debunk the prevailing assumption that ACAG inevitably compromises the corrosion resistance of stainless steels. They demonstrate that, even without post-process cleaning, the procedure does not increase sensitization or susceptibility to intergranular attack. These findings validate ACAG as a viable, efficient, and cost-effective method for repair welding in low-carbon or stabilized austenitic stainless steels, simulating field conditions.

The microstructure evolution route and voids inheritance mechanism between element foils were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The forming defects of the integrated process were analyzed using SEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) microstructure analysis methods. Uniaxial tensile tests and microstructure characterization were conducted to observe the impacts of lay-up patterns and initial foils on the thin-walled components in order to determine the performance control strategy. It was shown that the NiAl alloy seamless tubes were successfully fabricated by the integrated process, and achieved the desired cylindrical shape with a diameter of 39 mm, wall thickness of 1.3 mm, and length of 155 mm. The microstructure of the NiAl alloy tube mainly consisted of Ni and Ni₂Al₃ layers after the first stage of reaction synthesis, with a thickness of 16.07 μm and 126.07 μm, respectively. Voids were observed in the middle of the Ni₂Al₃ layers located parallel to the rolling plane, with a thickness of approximately 8.15 μm. At the end of the first and second stages of reaction synthesis, the detached Al or Ni independent bodies were completely wrapped by the NiAl₃ or Ni₃Al layers, respectively. The reduced pressure led to an insufficient reduction of Kirkendall voids at the NiAl₃/Al and Ni/Ni₃Al interfaces. Consequently, voids were formed in the original position of the Al and Ni layers, and then inherited into the final NiAl alloy component. Furthermore, the Ni/Ni₂Al₃/Ni multilayered structure fabricated under the first stage of reaction synthesis performed superplastic behavior at 900 °C. Ni phase in the deformed Ni/Ni₂Al₃/Ni multilayered structures was completely dissolved in the Ni₂Al₃ matrix after reaction diffusion treatment at 1200 °C. This provided potential opportunities of forming complex shapes for NiAl alloy tubular part. The simultaneous reduction of the initial thicknesses of Ni and Al foils decreased the average grain size in the coarse-grained layers (CGLs) and fine-grained layers (FGLs).
