The current composite pipes such as E-glass have better properties compared to metallic pipes. However, these pipes are prone to failure during its service life. In contrast, natural fiber such as basalt fiber composite pipes has better mechanical characteristics compared to current composite pipes. Hoop tensile, longitudinal tensile and internal pressure loads were carried out through experimentally and numerically investigation on the basalt/epoxy and E-glass/epoxy pipe performance. The basalt/epoxy and E-glass/epoxy composite pipes have been manufactured with ±55o winding angle using dry filament winding with impregnation of epoxy resin used Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP) technique and investigated. Basalt and E-glass composite pipes with winding angles of ±45o, ±55o, ±65o, ±75o were fabricated in order to assess the optimal winding angle which can resists the subjected loads. There were good agreement between numerical and experimental results have been recorded. For internal pressure test, the basalt pipes have more internal pressure carrying capacity more than E-glass by 2.41%. Through this investigation, can be concluded that the natural based fiber of basalt can be used as a suitable replacement than E-glass, has further advantages of being cheap, abundant, renewable and easily recyclable. The also possess high strength, excellent flexural stiffness to cost ratio and low thermal conductivity

Pressurized composite pipes made of concentric fiber reinforced polymer layers have found much interest among researchers. These composite pipes possess mechanical and thermal properties that exceed those of their constituent materials. This development is motivated by the demand for corrosion resistant, lighter and high specific stiffness components. Natural fiber composite materials retain better flexural stiffness and are environmentally friendly. Unlike experimental testing, numerical investigations on the manufacture and performance of natural fiber reinforced pipes under internal pressure seem lacking. In this analysis, the mechanical behavior of multilayer composite pipes made of natural basalt and E-glass fibers under internal pressure were carried out numerically. The multilayered composite pipes were fabricated by employing filament winding technique with, basalt and E-glass fibers, with fiber orientation angles of ±45o, ±55o, ±65o, ±75o. The matrix epoxy resin was infused using vacuum infusion process (VIP). A longitudinal and hoop tensile test rig, designed and fabricated according to ASTM D2105 and D2299 respectively, was used to determine the hoop and longitudinal properties of the pipes. Numerical simulations were conducted to determine the stress and strain behaviors with the intention to find the effect of ply angle, basalt and glass properties and also to evaluate the performance of the new natural basalt fiber as an alternative to E-glass/Epoxy.

Composites are becoming essential part of today’s material because they offer advantages such as low weight, corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength; faster assembly etc. composites are generating curiosity and interest all over the worlds. The attempts can be found in literature for composite materials high strength fiber and also natural fiber like jute, flax and sisal natural fibers provides data but there is need of experimental data availability for unidirectional natural fiber composite with seldom natural fiber like cotton, palm leaf etc., it can provide a feasible range of alternative materials to suitable conventional material. It was decided to carry out the systematic experimental study for the effect of volume fraction of reinforcement on longitudinal strength as well as Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) using developed mould-punch set up and testing aids. The testing is carried out as per ASTM D3039/3039M-08. The comparative assessment of obtained experimental results with literature is also carried out, which forms an important constituent of present work.

The aim of this research is to study the behavior of fiber epoxy composite curve pipe under internal pressure and bending moment. The specimens made from woven roving (Mat) fiber glass pipes and epoxy composite with 50% volume fraction are used to manufacturing curved pipe. The experimental work included manufacturing pipe specimens by vacuum bag technique. Pipe specimens were having 100mm inner diameter, 450 mm length of curvature center line of curve pipe with (43 degree) and two wall thickness are 4 and 3 mm. The test rig was designed and performed to study the effect of internal pressure and bending moment on the composite pipes. Also, the tensile test of the samples was done. The analytical expression solution has been accomplished to determine the strain, stress, for hoop and longitudinal direction. It is evident that the hoop stress for woven roving fiber composite pipe was more than longitudinal stress by almost (14%). The maximum internal pressure in the case of internal pressure only was more than compared to the combined internal pressure with bending moment by almost (115%). The most dangerous region is found in the inner arc of the curved pipe (intrude) area.

Abstract Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) are increasingly used to transport hydrocarbons and water in the oil and gas industry due to their superior properties including corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, light weight, etc. The cross-section of TCPs generally consists of three layers: inner liner, composite laminate, and outer jacket. Three layers are bonded together and form a solid-wall construction. Inner liner and outer jacket made of thermoplastic polymer provide protective barriers for the laminate to against the inner fluid and outer environment. The laminate is constructed by an even number of helically wounded continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite tapes. In this study, mechanical behaviors of a TCP under an internal pressure were investigated by using analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) methods. The analytical method which is based on the three-dimensional (3D) anisotropy elastic theory can take account of non-uniformly distributed stress and strain through the thickness of the pipe wall. FEA models were setup by using the software ABAQUS to predict the stress distribution of the pipe. 3D Tsai-Wu failure criterion was used to predict the maximum internal pressure of the pipe. Effects of some critical parameters, such as the winding angle of composite tapes and the number of reinforced plies, on the internal pressure capacity of TCPs were studied. Results obtained from the analytical and FEA methods were fairly agreed with each other, which showed that with the increasing of the number of reinforced plies the internal pressure capacity of a TCP gradually increases and approaches to an extreme value. In addition, the optimal winding angle which results the maximum internal pressure is not a constant value, instead, it varies with the increasing thickness of the laminate layer. This study provides useful tools and guidance for the design and analysis of TCPs, and is currently under validation through experiments.

Natural fiber composite materials are such an appropriate material, that replaces synthetic composite materials for many of practical applications where we need high strength and low density. Natural fiber composites combine the technological, ecological and economical aspects. This leads to discovering its vast applications in the aeronautics, automotive, marine and sporting sectors. This paper deals with the study on mechanical characterization (Tensile, Compression and Flexural) of jute/epoxy (JE) polymer composite. The flexural properties of composites are experimentally tested and are simulated in commercially available FEA software. Flexural tested results are in good agreement with FEA results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the failed samples reveals the matrix dominated failure.

In general, filament winding technique is used to fabricate the composite pipes using continuous fiber and matrix resin. In this study, fly ash based geopolymer resin composites reinforced by continuous glass fiber were used for fabrication and synthesized by different curing and sintering temperature, different pattern and different viscosity of geopolymer. The effects of that parameter on the product were investigated. The compressive properties of the resulting composite were determined on an Instron Universal Testing under compression mode and the results show that the helical pattern with low viscosity cured at 75°C give the highest strength.

Abstract Basalt fiber (BF), because of having high strength-to-cost ratio, could be suitable for industrial applications replacing the carbon and glass fibers. However, the lack of surface functionality restricts its potential interfacial interactions with the reinforced matrix. Various surface modification approaches are used to tailor the surface properties of BFs such as coating nanomaterials and attaching chemical moieties. In this study, a successful deposition of graphene on basalt fabric was done using eco-friendly and simple electrophoretic deposition method. The confirmation of attached graphene oxide and graphene was done through the scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectroscopy. Later, the effect of graphene coating on the thermal properties of BF was studied through thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Results show that the graphene was successfully coated on BF, and in the presence of graphene coating, the crystallization of BF delayed from 697 to 716°C because of the formation of a protective layer of graphene. Graphene-coated BF could be used further in fiber-reinforced composites to improve the interfacial interaction between the matrix and fiber.

Epoxy-glass fiber composite pipes were fabricated with filament winding machine. Full automation and precise control over the processing parameters are the major advantages of this manufacturing technique. Stacking sequence is one of the important processing parameters on which the properties of filament wound components depend to a large extent. This paper comes up with a comparative damage analysis of traditional composite pipes (TCPs) of stacking sequence [±55]6, and functionally graded composite pipes (FGCP) of stacking sequence [70-55-40-40-55-70]. The stacking sequence in FGCP was chosen such that the average stacking angle is retained the same as of TCPs, i.e. [±55]. An impact analysis of these pipes was carried out. Impact energy of 45 J was applied on both pipes and damage was quantified using back-lighting technique. It was observed that the damage occurred in FGCPs was 30% lesser compared to TCPs.

High-strength, continuous and uniform filament winding patterns remain challenging to find for non-axisymmetric models under various loading conditions. In this study, various loading conditions are considered in the development of an algorithm for generating uniform winding patterns for axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric mandrel models with flexible rotation at the ends of the mandrel. First, the mandrel surface is divided into sections by uniform quadrilateral elements and the ideal winding angle at each boundary is calculated based on the stress field. Then, stability analysis is used to calculate suitable winding angles as close as possible to the ideal winding angle for each boundary. These suitable winding angles can be used to generate the uniform winding pattern maintaining non-slippage and non-bridging while realizing flexible rotation at both ends of the mandrel. Finally, uniform patterns for various mandrel models are generated based on their respective suitable winding angles. Stress analysis result demonstrates that the wound mandrel generated by the proposed method can have better carrying capacity.
