Novel analytical solution to lateral buckling of pipelines based on localization of buckle patterns is proposed. Finite element study is conducted on lateral buckling of a full length pipe. Analytical and FE results are compared and advantages of analytical solution to FE model are highlighted. Interaction between lateral buckling and propagation buckling of cylindrical pipe and textured pipe under transient load path are investigated.
