Composite pipe

What is it about?

Composite pipes are widely used in many engineering applications. Filament winding has emerged as the primary process for thermoset composite pipes and cylindrical structures fabrication. Tubular knitted fabric is used in the current paper to develop composite pipes.

Why is it important?

Despite the shaping capability of knitted fabrics, published works were generally focused on the reinforcement of composite plates. This study focuses on the production of composite pipes from tubular knitted fabrics by benefiting their near net shape manufacturing capability. There exist very limited investigations about the composite pipes reinforced with tubular knitted preforms.
