Reviewing some design issues for filament wound composite tubes

Mechanical Characterization of Basalt and Glass Fiber Epoxy Composite Tube

“…So, one alternative normally used by the laboratories and industries is perform tests by the split disk method. Many 15,16 , being to a lesser extent referring epoxy/basalt fiber composites. Study regarding mechanical properties of tubular geometry basalt composite was made 13 , where tensile properties of glass, carbon and basalt fiber reinforced/epoxy composite cylinders made by filament winding were reported, using a proprietary test method; BF composite presented higher tensile strength and modulus than GF composite.…”

“…Parametric studies were conducted 15 on filament wound composite tubes reinforced with glass fiber, with the aim to determine minimum length that can represent an infinite tube in hydrostatic testing, to find the optimum wind angle of composite tubes subjected to internal pressure under different end conditions and to study the influence of diameter and thickness on the failure pressure during tube burst tests. Split disk tests were done with specimens cut from a composite tube [±55°] 4 to compare the resulting apparent hoop fracture stress with the hoop stresses obtained from the models, and the calculated hoop stresses reached 89% for closed-end, 85% for restrained-end and 62% for open-end condition.…”

Effects of winding angle on the behaviour of glass/epoxy pipes under multiaxial cyclic loading

“…The [± 63°] 4 pipes failed at 70 MPa under the 1H:0A (pure hoop) loading. Martins [19][20][21] and Meijer [37] reported no visible whitening or weepage, but did find jets of water spraying from the ± 60°and ± 75°tubes near the end plugs. A similar leakage failure was also reported by Ellyin [36,37].…”

“…An experimental study on composite tubes subjected to internal static pressure was conducted on GRE tubes with winding angles of ± 45°, ± 55°, ± 60°, and ± 75°by Martins and associates [19][20][21]. They tested for the closed ended loading condition to initially obtain the leakage failure, and then to obtain the burst failure pressure.…”

Acoustic Emission Wavelet Analysis of Filament Wound Composite Tube Fatigue Damage Process

“…et al continuously and circularly exerted pressure on carbon fiber composite vessel, using acoustic emission technique to detect and research on this type of vessel damage [9]. In addition, there are a large number of studies using AE to analyze the damage process of carbon fiber and glass fiber composite [10][11][12]. However, under the influence of factors such as material properties and test environment, AE wave is often shown as a complex, non-stationary, and random signal, containing a variety of noise.…”
