Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Hydrostatic Performance of Fibre Reinforced Tubes

Abstract

The expanding requests in subsea industry, for example, oil and gas, prompted a quickly developing requirement for the utilization of cutting edge, elite, lightweight materials, for example, composite materials. E-glass fiber covered pre-preg, fiber wound and twisted tubes were tried to annihilation under hydrostatic outer weight with a specific end goal to ponder their clasping and pounding conduct. Distinctive fiber designs and wind edges were tried at a scope of divider thicknesses featuring the preferred standpoint that circle support offers. The exploratory outcomes were contrasted and hypothetical forecasts acquired from exemplary overlay hypothesis and limited component examination (ABAQUS) in view of the important that the dominating disappointment mode was clasping. SEM examination was additionally performed to explore the subsequent disappointment systems, demonstrating that the disappointment instruments can be more mind boggling with an assortment of watched modes occurring, for example, fiber break, delaminating and fiber-lattice interface disappointment.
