Third-Generation Dismountable Assembled Pipelines from Composite-Made Pipes

详细

The merits of composite-made structures and efficient methods for making third-generation dismountable assembled pipelines from fiberglass pipes are studied. The results of the studies for improving the design of bell-and-spigot type of joints are furnished, the major factors determining the reliability of the joint are identified, the mechanisms of the influence of geometric parameters on the strength characteristics of the joint are established, and a new design of the pipe joint is proposed.
