... - 4 - investigated. First, the behavior of the jointed pipe system was analyzed using beam-on-elasticspring modeling, where deformations around the pipe circumference are neglected, deflections along the pipe springlines are used to represent the longitudinal pipe response, and the pipe is considered as a beam with circular cross-section.
