Effect of Dimension Parameters on the Torsion Property of A C/SiC Pipe

Abstract

Through finite element numerical simulation and based on laminated plate theory, the effect of dimension on the torsion properties of uniform C/SiC composites pipe was studied to provide a theoretical guidance for preparing the C/SiC pipe with different dimensions. The results show that, with increasing length of pipe, the anti-torsion section coefficient of pipe increases whereas the torsion angle per unit length decreases. Increasing the length can improve the torsion property. Anti-torsion section coefficient rises with increasing internal radius, while the torsion angle per unit length decreases to a constant. With increasing thickness, the anti-torsion section coefficient increases whereas the amplitude decreases gradually, and the torsion angle per unit length is a constant. Increment of internal radius and thickness improves the torsion property finitely.
