This paper on "Finite Element Analysis on GRP Tee-Intersection Pipe Under Various Loads" was presented at the NAFEMS World Congress on Design, Simulation & Optimisation: Reliability & Applicability of Computational Methods - 9-11 April 1997, Stuttgart, Germany.

Abstract

Strains were measured on existing types of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Tee-piece subjected to various loads separately. Finite element (FE) models were then developed and gave results for comparison with the experimental ones.
