REPAIR IRPAnalyzer

IRPAnalyzer is a user-friendly application that was developed as part of the REPAIR project, which was funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) within Unites States Department of Energy. The application, which was built using Matlab App Designer, is designed to aid pipeline developers and designers in the analysis and design of internal pipe repair systems for legacy host pipes that exhibit full circumferential discontinuities under most critical loading conditions, as identified through extensive research. This novel computer application is aimed at analyzing and designing internal repair systems for managing pipeline infrastructure with full circumferential cracks, discontinuities or pulled-out joints under critical loading conditions including lateral deformation, axial deformation, fatigue and hoop stress, as identified in recent studies. This design app addresses a significant gap in current design tools by integrating simplified analytical models and solution methods with user-friendly interfaces and features, thereby facilitating accurate and efficient predictions. The executable file (provided data) provides the user the ability to generate recommendations for material and geometries for internal replacement pipes across a variety of technologies and deposition methods.

IRPAnalyzer是一款用户友好型应用程序，作为由美国能源部（United States Department of Energy）下属的高级研究计划局-能源（Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy，ARPA-E）资助的REPAIR项目的组成部分开发而成。该应用采用Matlab App Designer开发，旨在协助管道开发与设计人员，针对经大量研究确定的、在关键荷载工况下存在全周向不连续缺陷的老旧母管，开展内部管道修复系统的分析与设计工作。这款创新性计算机应用程序，可针对近年研究中明确的、包含横向变形、轴向变形、疲劳与环向应力在内的关键荷载工况下，存在全周向裂纹、不连续缺陷或脱开接头的管道基础设施，完成内部修复系统的分析与设计。该设计类应用通过整合简化分析模型与求解方法，并搭配友好的用户界面与功能模块，弥补了当前设计工具中的显著空白，可实现精准高效的预测。该配套可执行文件（数据集）支持用户基于多种技术与沉积工艺，生成内部替换管道的材料与几何参数推荐方案。
