Pressure response and life assessment of filament-wound composite pipes after impact
Abstract
This paper presents the results of drop-weight impact (5 J–150 J), quasi-static indentation, and post-impact internal pressure testing of a ±55°, filament-wound, glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe. The void content in the tested pipes was quantified by optical and stereo microscopy image analysis and ranged from 5% to approximately 13%. The void content was found not to influence the damage area, or the observed damage mechanisms, …
