Abstract

Abstract In this study, the effect of impact loading upon fatigue behavior of hybrid composite pipes has been investigated. The composite pipes were subjected to tangential pre-stress as 3–48 MPa according to ANSI/AWWA C950 standard than, subjected to low velocity impact at 20 J. The impact pre-damaged pipes then subjected to cyclic loading at 50% σult in accordance with ASTM D 2992-06. It is also observed that increasing the tangential pre-stress decreases impact damage area and increases fatigue life of the pipe. It is also showed that impact pre-damage are not effective on the fatigue life of the pipe at the pre-stress level of 24 MPa.
