Abstract

This study examined the application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) as wrapping structures for defective pipe systems. The structural behavior and performance of the CFRP and GFRP wrapping structures were assessed using computational simulation methodologies. The goal of the study was to determine the best wrapping material for strengthening the integrity and reliability of piping systems with defects by comparing the results of the simulations. The study evaluated the capability of the proposed composite wrapping structure through CAD simulation. The simulations provided preliminary analysis and visually depicted deformations, aiding in the selection of an optimized lamination orientation for the composite wrapping structure in real-world applications. Eventually, this approach could have alleviated two primary failure modes that were common in composite repair: composite overloading due to excessive thickness and composite delamination from the substrate. The results of this study would have helped enhance effective and efficient pipe repair techniques in a variety of industries by offering useful insights into the selection and use of suitable wrapping structures for repairing defective pipes.
