Project title: Design and Optimisation for Filament Wound Pipes
Project aim: To develop through research, design, verification, trial and tests, improved pipe design and manufacture, commercially competitive, optimized pipes for clients. Some of the pipes could be re-designed to include winding with varying thickness filament with different materials in stages and layering in a more continuos manner without stopping due to peak exotherm reaction.
