Abstract:In this paper, Carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used to reinforce metal elbow, which is a new concept and has the potential to improve the strength of metal elbow. For the elbow, the circumferential stress is the main factor for its failure. In this study, a new stress model of thick-walled high pressure elbow reinforced by composite material is presented to predict the stress distribution. Three-dimensional solid model of elbow is constructed and finite element simulations for the elbow are performed… Show more
