The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanical behaviour of a multi-layered composite tubular structure with various orientations subjected to internal hydrostatic pressure. The first part of this paper is devoted to studying stress analysis using the analytical approach. The 3 D analysis of the composite pipe originally made with carbon/epoxy is studied and compared with a pipe made of E-glass/epoxy; each layer is examined with five orientations. The hoop, axial, longitudinal, transversal, and shear stresses are obtained for each layer of the composite pipe simultaneously. The hybrid composite pipe is done to take advantage of the properties of each fiber and the studied hybridisation. `To validate some cases of the presented results, a numerical model is developed in ANSYS workbench software; this particular model is characterized by very close to the theoretical results. Throughout the investigation, it is observed that the behaviour of composite carbon/epoxy is the most resistant compared to glass/epoxy, and the results obtained in the case of hybrid shows that the variability of the stacking sequences generates the variation of the behaviour on composite hybrid pipe. It can be increased the design material utilisation and working pressure level by winding angle variation or hybridized between stacking sequences. The ability of this new 3 D model to simulate the stress evolution in the full-scale composite tubular structure under internal pressure events were demonstrated.

An analytical solution is performed using stress function approach for multi-layered filament-wound composite cylinders subjected to combined internal pressure and thermal loading. It is assumed that there is a liquid or gas of various temperatures in the cylinders. The effects of the wind angle variation through the radial section of the cylinders are also investigated. Thus, the layers are oriented symmetrically and antisymmetrically for (0°/90°), (30°/-30°), (45°/-45°) and (60°/-60°) orientations. A computer program is developed to conduct stress and deformation analyses of composite cylinder with different winding angle. All the integration constants are found from the radial stress and displacement in the normal direction of layers.

An engineering approach to estimation of the transverse shear stresses in layered composites is developed. The technique is based on the well-known D. I. Zhuravsky equation for shear stresses in an isotropic beam upon transverse bending. In general, application of this equation to a composite beam is incorrect due to the heterogeneity of the composite structure. According to the proposed method, at the first stage of its implementation, a transition to the equivalent model of a homogeneous beam is made, for which the Zhuravsky formula is valid. The transition is carried out by changing the shape of the cross section of the beam, provided that the bending stiffness and generalized elastic modulus remain the same. The calculated shear stresses in the equivalent beam are then converted to the stress values in the original composite beam from the equilibrium condition. The main equations and definitions of the method as well as the analytical equation for estimation of the transverse shear stress in a composite beam are presented. The method is verified by comparing the analytical solution and the results of the numerical solution of the problem by finite element method (FEM). It is shown that laminate stacking sequence has a significant impact both on the character and on the value of the transverse shear stress distribution. The limits of the applicability of the developed technique attributed to the conditions of the validity of the hypothesis of straight normal are considered. It is noted that under this hypothesis the shear stresses do not depend on the layer shear modulus, which explains the absence of this parameter in the obtained equation. The classical theory of laminate composites is based on the similar assumptions, which gives ground to use this equation for an approximate estimation of the transverse shear stresses in in a layered composite package.

Abstract This study deals with the stress analysis and the strength evaluation of a bonded shrink fitted joint of circular pipes subjected to an internal pressure and a tensile load. In the analysis, two pipes and the adhesive are replaced with finite hollow cylinders, and the stress distributions in the joint are analyzed by using the axisymmetric theory of elasticity. From the numerical calculations, the following results are obtained: (1) Both the compressive and shear stresses at the interface between the adherend and the adhesive increase as Young’s modulus of the adherend increases. (2) The stress becomes singular at the edges of the interfaces. (3) The joint strength can be evaluated using the compressive and shear stresses near the edge of the interface. In the experiments, bonded shrink fitted joints consisting of dissimilar circular pipes were manufactured, and rupture tests of the joints were carried out by applying an internal pressure, and a tensile load to the joints. From the results, the joint strength of the bonded shrink fitted joint was found to be greater than that of the shrink fitted joint. Furthermore, the numerical results are in fairly good agreement with the experimental ones.

Abstract Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) are increasingly used to transport hydrocarbons and water in the oil and gas industry due to their superior properties including corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, light weight, etc. The cross-section of TCPs generally consists of three layers: inner liner, composite laminate, and outer jacket. Three layers are bonded together and form a solid-wall construction. Inner liner and outer jacket made of thermoplastic polymer provide protective barriers for the laminate to against the inner fluid and outer environment. The laminate is constructed by an even number of helically wounded continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite tapes. In this study, mechanical behaviors of a TCP under an internal pressure were investigated by using analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) methods. The analytical method which is based on the three-dimensional (3D) anisotropy elastic theory can take account of non-uniformly distributed stress and strain through the thickness of the pipe wall. FEA models were setup by using the software ABAQUS to predict the stress distribution of the pipe. 3D Tsai-Wu failure criterion was used to predict the maximum internal pressure of the pipe. Effects of some critical parameters, such as the winding angle of composite tapes and the number of reinforced plies, on the internal pressure capacity of TCPs were studied. Results obtained from the analytical and FEA methods were fairly agreed with each other, which showed that with the increasing of the number of reinforced plies the internal pressure capacity of a TCP gradually increases and approaches to an extreme value. In addition, the optimal winding angle which results the maximum internal pressure is not a constant value, instead, it varies with the increasing thickness of the laminate layer. This study provides useful tools and guidance for the design and analysis of TCPs, and is currently under validation through experiments.

The process, by applying an internal pressure higher than the working pressure in advance after completion of the winding to cause the liner entering the plastic stage and producing the corresponding permanent plastic deformation for the purpose of improving the carrying capacity of the vessel, is called internal pressure autofrettage. In this paper, for the high-density polyethylene liner filament winding vessels which are winded by the equivalent cooling method, the ANSYS ACP module is used to analyze the stress distribution under autofrettage condition and working condition. The influence of autofrettage pressure and cooling temperature on the stress distribution under the working conditions of the vessel is addressed. This study could provide a reference for the optimization of winding process.

Article justifies accounting for internal pressure effect in the pipeline, causing additional bending of the pipeline. According to some scientists, there is an erroneously used concept of the equivalent longitudinal axial force (ELAF) Sx, which depends on working pressure, temperature stresses, and joint deformations of pipelines with various types of soils. However, authors of the article use ELAF Sx concept at construction of mathematical model of stress-strain state (SSS) for complex section of the trunk pipeline, and also reveal it when analyzing the results of calculating the durability and stability of the pipeline. Analysis of SSS for calculated section of the pipeline was carried out for two statements of the problem for different values of operation parameters. In the first statement, effect of internal pressure causing bending of the pipeline is taken into account, and in the second it is neglected. It is shown that due to effect of ELAF Sx at p0 = 9.0 MPa, Dt = 29 °C extreme value of bend increases by 54 %, extreme values of bending stresses from span bending moment increase by 74 %, and extreme value of bending stresses from support bending moment double with regard to corresponding SSS characteristics of the pipeline. In case of neglecting the internal pressure effect causing additional bending of the pipeline (second statement of the problem), error in calculating the extreme value of bend is 35 %, extreme value of bending stresses from span bending moments is 44 %, and extreme value of bending stresses from support bending moments is 95 %.
