This paper presents numerical results from finite volume modelling of full-scale test on medium density polyethylene gas pressurized pipes. The crack speed and pressure profile are prescribed in the analysis. Both steady-state and transient rapid crack propagation (RCP) are considered, and the comparison between them is shown. The steady-state results are achieved employing a full multigrid acceleration technique, where sets of progressively finer grids are used in \(V\)-cycles. Also, the effect of inelastic behaviour of polyethylene on RCP results is demonstrated.
