Abstract:

Based on the finite element method, a three⁃dimensional finite element model was established for the assembly of polyester fiber reinforced plastic composite pipe and its metal clamping joint, and the influence of clamping amount and joint structural parameters on the joint sealing performance was analyzed. The results indicated that the sealing performance of the joint was improved with an increase in the clamping amount. However, the plastic deformation occurred in the tube under a large clamping amount, leading to a decrease in sealing performance. As the serrated angle increased, the sealing performance of the joint increased at first and then tended to decrease. The tube suffered plastic deformation at an angle greater than 55 °. The higher the sawtooth height, the better was the sealing performance of the joint. When the sawtooth height increased up to 3 mm, the stress value at the end of the core tube reached the strength at break. It is not recommended to set too many serrated teeth in the joint. When the number of teeth reaches 14, the tube body was severely squeezed at the end of the joint. Considering of the sealing performance and joint strength, the optimum clamping quantity was determined to be 5.5 mm, and the optimum structural parameters were determined to be a serrated angle of 50 °, a tooth height of 2.5 mm, and a serrated number of 11.
