Composite overwrap systems have been widely used to repair damaged pipelines. Its effectiveness has been proven by many researches and engineering applications. However, the research on progressive failure mode of the repaired structure has not been reported. In the present paper, finite element method with Hashin failure criteria is developed to realize the progressive failure analysis. The predicted burst pressure is in good agreement with the burst experiment. Different from widely-reported failure progress in Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPV), the progressive failure analysis for the defected pipeline overwrapped by composite reveals very different failure stages: stable failure propagation and rapid failure propagation. The identification of critical pressure between these two stages is valuable in composite reparation design for the defected pipeline.

The progressive failure analysis of composite pressure vessel under hydrostatic pressure has been carried out. The composite pressure vessel has been modeled by using layer structural shell element. After the failure of the weakest ply, the stiffness is reduced by either fiber failure or matrix failure. The stiffness of failed element has been totally discarded and other element are considered to remain unchanged after the weakest ply failure. The stress of the laminate at the same point is evaluated again to see if the laminate can carry additional load. This ply-by-ply analysis progresses until the ultimate strength of the pressure vessels is reached. A parametric study has been done on the progressive failure analysis.
