Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine instances in which pipes and butt welds are subjected to
unintended stresses, resulting in fractures or full destruction. The behavior of radial force
(perpendicular to the OX axis) in two circumstances is seen, and we conclude which of the two
examples has more flaws. The two circumstances will be examined from an analytical, theoretical,
and experimental standpoint, leading to some key findings of this type of incident. The analytical
component involves a rigorous investigation of the structural design, material properties, and stress
distribution within the given contexts. This is complemented by a theoretical exploration, wherein
mathematical models and simulations are employed to predict the response of pipes and butt welds to
various stress scenarios. Experimental analyses are conducted to validate the theoretical predictions
and provide real-world insights into the behavior of these components under unexpected stress
conditions.
Keywords: Finite element, Polyethylene, Butt weld, Polymer tube, Welding, axial strength, compressive strength.
