Parameters Optimization of Steel Wire Reinforced Thermoplastics Composite Pipe

Abstract:

Recently the steel wire reinforced thermoplastics composite pipelines are increasingly used in many different fields. In this paper, a parametric finite element model (FEM) of Steel Wire Reinforced Thermoplastics Composite Pipe (SRTP) was established by using ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). The purpose of optimization was to reduce the cost, so the minimum of pipelines total weight was chosen as the optimization objective. The wall thickness of SRTP and the diameter and axial pitch of braided steel wire were chosen as the main optimize parameters. The whole optimization process must ensure that the bearing capacity of SRTP was not weakened, so the yield strength was chosen as the optimization constraints. The optimization results were reasonable and correct.
