摘要: There is currently a need to develop high-pressure composite butt-weld joints meet the needs of deepwater activities. In this study, tapered joint configuration proposed. Finite element analysis was conducted validate proposed structural through stress-strain distribution analysis. Test samples were assembled using hand lay-up technique. The prepared specimens hydro-tested. test results justified configurations. An approximate 35.7% increase in bursting pressure observed over used joints.
