Project Number | 365 |
Date of Summary | September 24, 2004 |
Subject | Composite Coiled Tubulars: Effects of Viscoelasticity |
Performing Activity | Texas A&M University, Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC) |
Principal Investigator | Ochoa, Whitcomb, and Schapery |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | September 2002 |
Description | Experimental and theoretical work developed explicit models for predicting effects of Viscoelasticity and time-dependent damage on deformation and damage response of composite coiled tubulars. The experimental work used viscoelastic property tests (creep, recovery and constant rate) on composite tubes and uniaxial specimens cut from tubes. |
