Optimizing Textile-Reinforced Composites for Pipe Connections

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of multi-layered composite materials in the confection of industrial pipe connections (elbows, reduction pipes, flanges etc.) is often put off because of the high cost of manufacture. The aim of this study is to replace the multi-layer process (woven reinforcement-organic matrix) by sandwich process with a view to reducing the cost of manufacture. Validation is carried out on different structures: ring, cylinder with and without end effect, elbows and floating flanges.
