Key Technologies and Challenges in Marine Composite Pipe and Cable Design
The composite pipe and cable is one of the important equipment for marine resource development,which is widely used in offshore oil and gas exploration,deep-sea mining,offshore wind turbine and so on.The composite pipe and cable has the advantages of good bending performance,light weight,high strength,corrosion resistance,high and low temperature resistance,etc.,which can meet the demand of marine resources that are constantly moving to deep water.However,the composite pipe and cable is more complex in structural design and more difficult to forecast accurately in terms of mechanical properties and service life compared to traditional steel pipelines.The conventional methods of design combined with standards are introduced,and the structural optimization issues,material nonlinear issues,geometric nonlinear issues and interfacial nonlinear issues(interfacial strength,interfacial fatigue,interfacial friction)which need to be further considered in the design of the composite pipe and cable,are summarized.The result can provide some guidance for design studies of the composite pipe and cable.
