Figure 41 Cross section of the pipe [YU2005].#

This example has the cross section as shown in Fig. 41 [YU2005]. This cross section has two straight walls and two half circular walls. \(r=1.0\) in. and other dimensions are shown in the figure. Each wall has the layup having two layers made from one material. Fiber orientations for each layer are also given in the figure. Material properties and layups are given in Table 17 and Table 18. Cross-sectional properties are given in Table 19 and compared with the results from [YU2005]. The tiny differences are due to different meshes. Complete input files can be found in examples\ex_pipe\, including pipe.xml, baselines.xml, materials.xml, and layups.xml.
