In this paper, strengthening of a steel pipe with a composite wrap is analyzed. An analytical model taking into account joint reaction of the pipe and the wrap, two-dimensional stress state and plastic strains in the pipe wall is developed. Verification of the model is performed by comparison of the numerical results to the full-scale test results for a strengthened pipe under the action of internal pressure. The developed model is applied to the analysis of a buried gas pipeline subjected to the internal pressure and temperature loading. The results obtained with the analytical model are compared to the results of a finite-element simulation. A good agreement is established. The effect of wrap thickness on the stress–strain state and load-carrying capacity of the strengthened pipe is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
