Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

 As we all experience, the explosive growth of computer technology is continuously opening up new ways for scientists. It is, therefore, possible to solve and evaluate complex engineering problems that previously seemed unsolvable thanks to the indeed advancing numerical modeling techniques.

Modern, efficient numerical algorithms are also capable of replacing costly experiments in design, saving development time and expenses. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather scientific articles that are in the crossroads of Mechanical Engineering and numerical modelling. Contributions reporting on new numerical methods or presenting novel applications with known methods are as well welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This paper introduces an efficient and automated computational framework integrating Python scripting with Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the structural behavior of long free-spanning submarine pipelines equipped with buoyancy modules. A comprehensive parametric study was conducted, involving 1260 free-spanning submarine pipeline models, and was successfully performed with a wide range of parameters, including the length (lp= 100, 200, and 300 m), radius (rp= 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 m), thickness, type of fluid, type of support, load ratio (LR= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1), and number of buoyancy modules (n= 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9) with its length (lb=1/10·lp). The study included a verification process, providing a verification of the presented framework. The results demonstrate excellent agreement with analytical and numerical solutions, validating the accuracy and robustness of the proposed framework. The analysis indicates that pipeline deformation and natural frequency are highly sensitive to variations in buoyancy arrangements, pipeline geometry, and load conditions, whereas the normalized mode shapes remain largely unaffected. Practical implications include the ability to rapidly optimize buoyancy module placements, reducing resonance risks from vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs), thus enhancing the preliminary design efficiency and pipeline safety. The developed approach advances existing methods by significantly reducing the computational complexity and enabling extensive parametric analyses, making it a valuable tool for designing stable, cost-effective offshore pipeline systems.
