Abstract: The parallel plate test (ISO 9969 & EN 1446) is a standardized test for insuring that the ring stiffness and flexibility of thermoplastic pipe meets specified levels of performance. Traditional calculation of ring stiffness depend on study of the elasticity of the material and neglect the role of its plasticity and viscosity. Nowadays scientific revolution in engineering programs and finite element analysis was helpful in complex studies and we could use it in simulation of real world conditions and optimize the profile shape which achieve decrease in cost of experiments and manufacturing. This work presents the results of a series of parallel plate tests and finite element simulations those tests conducted on corrugated HDPE plastic pipe to investigate the role of material and geometry on the behavior of the pipe during the test. Specifically, the work considers parallel plate tests on 400 mm diameter pipe, and its finite element simulation. ISO 9969 & EN 1446 uses the test to assure that corrugated HDPE pipe has required minimum pipe stiffness at 3% deflection (i.e. 3% reduction in diameter), and no buckling or loss of load before 30% deflection. After a series of experiments and comparing between them and theoretical study we find a great correspondence.

1. Introduction
HDPE corrugated plastic pipes is classified by its ring stiffness into Sn4, Sn8, Sn16 and it is the value of external load per squared meter kN/m2 [1]. The parallel plate test (ISO 9969 & EN 1446) is a standardized test for insuring that the ring stiffness and flexibility of thermoplastic pipe meets specified levels of performance. ISO 9969 & EN 1446 uses the test to assure that corrugated HDPE pipe has

    The foundation of Materials Science lies in characterization of a material’s properties. Among those properties the greatest interest lies in the strength of materials, being the most basic requirement for any kind of construction. This lab aims first to describe the strength of 1045 annealed and cold-rolled steel, 2024-T4 aluminum, and cast iron through tensile testing. This includes characterization of yield strengths, modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strength for each material. An emphasis is placed on elastic-plastic deformation in terms of ductility and how temperature and fatigue can affect this transition. Elastic and plastic…

    The main objective of this assignment is to simulate a 3-D air flow in a pipe using Ansys CFX. The pipe was simulated under specific conditions. These conditions are air temperature to be 25⁰C (degrees Celsius), one atmospheric reference pressure, no heat transfer and laminar flow. The results from the simulation of laminar flow in the pipe were compared with the theoretical ones. Also the mesh was refined in the simulation to see if it is possible to get more accurate results using grid convergence analysis.…

    The overall purpose of this experiment is to become more familiar with experimental processes which will be used continuously throughout the semester. The first process was indentation hardness testing. This was done to find the plastic deformation of three different materials using a QV-700 Universal Hardness Tester. The second process was bend beam testing. This test was performed to determine and compare the Modulus of Elasticity, Yield Strength and Yield Strain on four different materials using a cantilever beam and vernier calipers.…

    Residual stress is a macroscopic stress that is set up within a metal during non-uniform plastic deformation, as in cold drawing or thermal gradients, as in quenching or welding. Up to 45% area reduction is employed in the manufacturing process of CDW tubes resulting in residual stresses in the tube. These can be tensile or compressive based on the type of cold work. Residual stress can affect the fatigue strength and fracture toughness of the material and can cause stress corrosion cracking and dimensional instability during further machining, welding and forming operations. Hence minimizing the unfavorable residual stress is an important process requirement for tubes involving critical applications. Residual stress is usually relieved by Stress Relieve Annealing (SRA), a low temperature annealing (350oC-600oC) in a roller hearth furnace.…
