Abstract

Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) are becoming the ideal substitute for traditional steel pipe due to its superiorities including light weight and corrosive resistance. The cross-section of TCPs consists of an inner liner, a laminate layer, and an outer jacket. The laminate layer is made of multi-plies of helically wound continuous fibre reinforced unidirectional tape. In the present study, a three-dimensional (3D) theoretical model and a 3D finite element model were developed to analyse the stress state of a TCP under internal pressure. With a selected failure criterion for composite laminate, the ultimate burst pressure of a TCP can be predicted. By comparing the predicted burst pressure with the experimental results, several commonly used failure criteria were compared in terms of their accuracy.
