Zusammenfassung:	The high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and excellent fatigue property make carbon fiber-reinforced plastics a competitive material solution to replace steel in deepwater riser application. In this work, scaled-down composite riser joints were fabricated using a filament-winding machine. The prototypes comprise several carbon fiber-reinforced plastic layers wound over an aluminum liner. They consist of a middle tubular section and two metal-composite interface end fittings for the transfer of load between joints. A series of mechanical tests, including tension and combined tension-bending loading tests were performed to characterize their structural capacity and evaluate the improvement in performance over a purely metallic mandrel. In addition, finite element analyses incorporating elastic–plastic properties of the metallic liner, interfacial failure, and complex carbon fiber-reinforced plastics failure modes were carried out. The numerical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. The experimentally verified FE framework was then extended to design and analyze a full-scale composite riser model for performance prediction to accelerate the application of composite risers by shortening product development cycle and reducing prototyping costs.
