Abstract
This study introduces the innovative two-level semi-analytical solution to predict failure in thick-walled composite pipes under complex loading conditions, including combined axial, pressure, torsion, and bending loads. Rooted in 3D elasticity theory, the model uses a stress superposition method to calculate stresses in composite pipes under combined symmetric and asymmetric loads, demonstrating appropriate agreement with FE models developed for validation.
A comprehensive parametric study examines the influence of winding angle, stacking sequence, and load magnitude on failure behaviour, utilizing three distinct failure criteria. The results unveil significant coupling effects between design parameters and loading conditions, providing crucial insights into failure modes and their locations. The developed analytical model and maximum load diagram serve as powerful and efficient tools for engineers, enabling sophisticated failure analysis and optimal design under complex loading conditions. In particular, it was found that combinations of low and medium winding angles offer superior anti-failure performance.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
