摘要

Based on the three-dimensional (3D) elasticity theory, this paper presents the mechanical properties of steel strip reinforced thermoplastic, cross-section view of such pipe plastic-steel-plastic (PSP) under internal pressure. The steel strip reinforced PSP pipe consists of four layers. Mises yield criterion is introduced to predict the damage of the pipe on layer 2. Further a 3D finite element model is established in ABAQUS to compare with the theoretical model and the result shows good agreement with each other in terms of hoop stress and axial stress, which means the proposed elastic model is feasible and can be applied and updated to study the elasto-plastic properties of steel strip reinforced PSP pipe in future research, and serve as a guide to the forthcoming experiments.
