Non-linear Analysis of Underground Laminated Composite Pipes

지하매설 복합재료 파이프의 비선형 해석

An analytical study is conducted using the Galerkin technique to determine the behaviour of thin fibre-reinforced composite pipes under soil pressure. Geometric nonlinearity and material linearity are assumed. It is assumed that the vertical and lateral soil pressures are proportional to the depth and the lateral displacement of the pipe respectively. It is also assumed that the radial shear stress is negligible because the ratio of the thickness to the radius of the pipe is very small. The calculation results are compared with the finite element analysis result.
