Abstract

While PEX-Al-PEX composite pipes are widely used in various applications, suitable tools and models for simulating their performance under different working conditions have not been made available. Therefore, the present study aims to develop a comprehensive finite element model to study the behavior of PEX-AL-PEX pipes at different temperatures and strain-rates. To achieve this, the properties of the pipe layers have been obtained for different temperature and strain-rate values through experimental tests. To assess the accuracy of the developed finite element model, the lateral compression and the split-disc tension tests have been performed under different conditions using both experimental and finite element analysis methods, and their results have been compared. The proposed model can be used to study the behavior of PEX-AL-PEX pipes with different materials and geometries in various conditions and applications, as well as for optimizing the design and manufacturing of these pipes.

用于 PEX-Al-PEX 复合管道建模的综合有限元框架

虽然 PEX-Al-PEX 复合管道被广泛应用于各种领域，但目前还没有合适的工具和模型来模拟其在不同工作条件下的性能。因此，本研究旨在开发一种全面的有限元模型，以研究 PEX-AL-PEX 管道在不同温度和应变速率下的行为。为此，我们通过实验测试获得了管道层在不同温度和应变率值下的特性。为了评估所建立的有限元模型的准确性，使用实验和有限元分析方法在不同条件下进行了横向压缩和分瓣拉伸试验，并对其结果进行了比较。所提出的模型可用于研究不同材料和几何形状的 PEX-AL-PEX 管道在各种条件和应用下的行为，以及优化这些管道的设计和制造。

期刊介绍： Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants. The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome: • Pressure vessel engineering • Structural integrity assessment • Design methods • Codes and standards • Fabrication and welding • Materials properties requirements • Inspection and quality management • Maintenance and life extension • Ageing and environmental effects • Life management Of particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time. International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
