Abstract

The paper reviews practical applications of composite materials in oil and gas industry. A special consideration has been paid to possible future opportunities in offshore and onshore usage; in particular to long fibre reinforced composite pipes. The problem of thick-walled filament-wound multi-layered composite pipes subjected to outer pressure is considered as an example. An analytical method is used for failure analysis for different lay-ups and loading conditions. The stress distributions through the pipe thickness for various lay-ups are computed for fibre
reinforced pipes under different outer pressure magnitudes.
