Finite Element Model and Bending for Marine Composite Flexible Pipes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The parameterizationmodeling of typical composite flexible pipe is studied by ANSYS two-developmentlanguage APDL, which established the model building of the spiral self-lockinglayer and scanning division meshes. The stress response of the typicalfive-layer composite flexible pipe was calculated under bending load byadopting the no slip assumptions. It is easy to modify the parameters offlexible pipe structure by using the parameterization modeling. Theparameterization modeling can be used for the optimal design of flexible pipe.
