Composite Properties

Composite repair systems are used for many years to restore locally the pipe strength where it has been affected by damage such as wall thickness reduction due to corrosion, dent, lamination or cracks. Composite repair systems are commonly qualified, designed and installed according to ASME PCC2 code or ISO 24817 standard requirements. In both of these codes, the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) of the damaged section must be determined to design the composite repair. To do so, codes such as ASME B31G for example for corrosion, are used. The composite repair systems is designed to “bridge the gap” between the MAWP of the damaged pipe and the original design pressure. The main weakness of available approaches is their applicability to combined loading conditions and various types of defects. The objective of this work is to set-up a “universal” methodology to design the composite repair by finite element calculations with directly taking into consideration the loading conditions and the influence of the defect on pipe strength (whatever its geometry and type). First a program of mechanical tests is defined to allow determining all the composite properties necessary to run the finite elements calculations. It consists in compression and tensile tests in various directions to account for the composite anisotropy and of Arcan tests to determine steel to composite interface behaviors in tension and shear. In parallel, a full scale burst test is performed on a repaired pipe section where a local wall thinning is previously machined. For this test, the composite repair was designed according to ISO 24817. Then, a finite element model integrating damaged pipe and composite repair system is built. It allowed simulating the test, comparing the results with experiments and validating damage models implemented to capture the various possible types of failures. In addition, sensitivity analysis considering composite properties variations evidenced by experiments are run. The composite behavior considered in this study is not time dependent. No degradation of the composite material strength due to ageing is taking into account. The roadmap for the next steps of this work is to clearly identify the ageing mechanisms, to perform tests in relevant conditions and to introduce ageing effects in the design process (and in particular in the composite constitutive laws).

The present work studies the buckling behavior of functionally graded (FG) porous rectangular plates subjected to different loading conditions. Three different porosity distributions are assumed throughout the thickness, namely, a nonlinear symmetric, a nonlinear asymmetric and a uniform distribution. A novel approach is proposed here based on a combination of the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method and finite elements (FEs), labeled here as the FE-GDQ method, while assuming a Biot’s constitutive law in lieu of the classical elasticity relations. A parametric study is performed systematically to study the sensitivity of the buckling response of porous structures, to different input parameters, such as the aspect ratio, porosity and Skempton coefficients, along with different boundary conditions (BCs) and porosity distributions, with promising and useful conclusions for design purposes of many engineering structural porous members.

The Uk

In recent years there has been a worldwide increase in the pressure to develop sources of renewable energy. The UK government is committed to ensuring that ten percent of UK energy consumption will be supplied by renewables by the year 2010. Central to this commitment is the need to develop wind farms particularly in the offshore environment. Moving offshore will allow very large wind turbines capable of supplying 2 MW (first generation) to 5 MW (second generation) of power to be installed in large farms consisting of up to fifty or more turbines. In contrast to typical oil and gas structures the foundation may account for up to forty percent of the projected installed cost. The weight of each structure is very low, so the applied vertical load on the foundation will be small compared to the moment load derived from the wind and waves. Further, it will be necessary to have a single design that can be mass-produced over each site rather than have each foundation individually engineered. In combination these points lead to a very interesting engineering problem where the design of the foundation becomes crucial to the economics of the project. One solution is to use conventional piling. However, at some sites it may prove more economical to use shallow foundations, and, in particular suction installed skirted foundations [1]. It will be necessary to develop an adequate design framework for these no vel foundations under the relevant combinations of load so that the optimum structural configuration can be achieved. At Oxford University a program of research on skirted foundations has been underway for the last five years, and much progress has been made on the understanding of this type of foundation under combined loading. This progress has been in both experimental and theoretical areas. This paper explores various structural options that might be used for the wind turbine application. These different options lead to different loading conditions on the foundations. Experiments investigating these different loading conditions are explored. A theoretical approach that describes the experimental results in a way that can be implemented in typical structural analyses programs is outlined. Finally details of a major research program into developing the necessary design guidelines for foundations for offshore wind turbines is described.
