This paper describes the modeling of multiaxial ultimate elastic wall stress (UEWS) at room temperature for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes. The model developed, predicts the stress-strain response caused by the combined, static and cyclic of UEWS loading taking into effects of transverse matrix cracking within the laminates. The procedure, although not a standard method, seems to provide a good alternative to the current raw materials' re-qualification procedure delineated in ISO 14692 through ASTM D2992. The effective transverse and shear modulus of the lamina due to increasing presence of transverse matrix cracking were estimated. Classical laminate analysis was then applied to compute the corresponding ply properties as a function of increasing stress and strain. The model shows a good agreement with the experimental results of multiaxial UEWS tests on ±55° filament wound glass-reinforced epoxy pipes.

This paper presents the modelling of a general lifetime performance for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes similar to the well-known Tsai-Hill interactive failure criterion. Tsai Hill criterion is based on the Von Misses distortional energy criterion which was modified to satisfy the orthotropic nature of GRE composite pipes. The effects of stress developed in each ply from ultimate elastic wall stress (UEWS) test were expressed in a single quadratic term of axial and hoop stress through laminate theory. The term then solved to produce limits with respect to axial and hoop stress, which represented in a graphical form of failure envelope. The modelled envelop shows a good agreement with experimental data from the multiaxial UEWS test of ±55° GRE composite pipes. This indicates that such model can be used to predict the long-term performance of GRE pipes under combine loadings.

Nowadays composite material especially Glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composites is one of the most widely used composite materials in such areas, especially in the marine, building and oil industry due to their lightweight, high strength and chemical/corrosion resistant properties. The aim of this paper is to provide an improved understanding of the performance of glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe under combined pressure and axial loads. The performances of GRE composite pipes is investigated through finite element modelling of ultimate elastic wall stress test under multi-axial loading ranging from pure axial to pure hoop loadings. ANSYS software will be used for finite element modelling of GRE pipes. A stress-strain response was obtained for each winding angle and the results for modelling then compared with those experimental computed through laminate theory. It is also concluded that the experimental results stress, which represent the onset of non-linearity were very much dependent on the transverse and shear stress response, and these values were found to be consistent with the predicted values from the commonly used Tsai-Wu failure criterion.
