carbon fuel pipe under external pressure
carbon fuel pipe under external pressure
(OP)
hi!
so my previous question was whether a 1mm thickness of carbon/epoxy would be able to withstand -37psi. this is what my calculations say - i'm just wondering if it makes logical sense...those of you with more experience?
the material is carbon fiber and epoxy, diameter is 2.5in, filament winding technique.
cheers,

RE: carbon fuel pipe under external pressure
How is the pipe supported (what is the unsupported length)?
I'm a little less familiar with carbon fibre / epoxy. What is the effective compressive Young's Modulus? I know that the carbon fibres are excellent in tension, but how about compression?
RE: carbon fuel pipe under external pressure
the effective compressive young's mod is 140GPa, its tensile strength is 1500MPa and compressive is 900MPa.
