Abstract
This article is concerned with the numerical modelling and analysis of the mechanical behaviour of composite pipes used for offshore oil and gas applications. Specifically, the bending of the reinforced thermoplastic pipes during the reeling process of reel-lay installation is modelled using non-linear finite-element procedures. In particular, the possible buckling of the reeled composite pipes has been investigated. Composite pipes reinforced with one angle-ply and two angle-ply layers are considered and the effects of different diameter-to-thickness ratios and different angle-ply combinations on the mechanical behaviour of these pipes have been studied.
