Material Characterization and Life Prediction of a Carbon Fiber/Thermoplastic Matrix Composite for Use in Non-Bonded Flexible Risers
In the effort to improve oil production riser performance, new materials are being studied. In the present case, a Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) is being considered as a replacement for carbon steel in flexible risers manufactured by Wellstream Inc., Panama City, Florida. The Materials Response G...
