Abstract
The CFRP buckle arrestor, designed as an innovative arresting device, effectively enhances the local circumferential stiffness of subsea pipes, serving as a barrier to prevent the spread of buckling. This arrestor consists of multiple layers of adhesive and CFRP, carefully wound around the subsea pipes in several loops. In the present work, a fully-coupled nonlinear finite element (FE) model is proposed to simulate the collapse and its evolution of tubes wrapped with CFRP arrestors, which is verified by the previous experimental results. The interface bonding performance between tubes and CFRP arrestors is characterized by the surface-based cohesive behavior in ABAQUS, and the circumferential, axial, and normal bonding behavior is defined according to the measured bonding strength and slip. The failure mechanism at the interface between the tubes and CFRP arrestors is revealed. Subsequently, broad parametric analyses are numerically performed, covering key geometric and material parameters as well as interface bonding properties. Finally, based on the extensive FE results, optimized empirical formulas are established to assess the crossover pressure and arresting efficiency of CFRP buckle arrestors under flattening-mode.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to provide a medium for presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design, fabrication and in-service experience relating to marine structures, i.e., all structures of steel, concrete, light alloy or composite construction having an interface with the sea, including ships, fixed and mobile offshore platforms, submarine and submersibles, pipelines, subsea systems for shallow and deep ocean operations and coastal structures such as piers.
