2012 Barcelona : Estimation concerning the damage tolerance of plastic pipes by third partiesAuthor(s) : Yuji Higuchi, Masaaki Ishikawa, Toshiaki Furuno, Eiji Okamura, Masahiro Mutoh, Hiroyuki Nishimura, Asami Nakai, Hiroyuki Hamada
Pipe materials that are resistant to damage by thirty-party works were investigated with attention to materials already used for other purposes. Pipes for underwater cables, water service and agricultural use, both multiple-layer and single-layer types, were selected for the test. Protective materials were also...

In this paper, an acceleration test has been done to evaluate of the resistance of polyethylene pipes to the chlorinated water with varying the concentration of chlorine and test temperature. The surface defects like a void due to the delamination of film about 10-micron meter thickness were observed after the...

Pultrusion process is one of the composite production methods that have been
used for mass production of uniform profiles. However, there are two problems
that are commonly found in pultrusion products; one of which is its anisotropic
mechanical properties. This anisotropicity stems from the alignment...
2001 Munich : Electrofusion Joint Strength of PE PipesAuthor(s) : Nishimura, Inoue, Inoue, Tani, Higuchi
Electrofusion (EF) joints have been widely used as easy-to-fuse and high-quality
joints for joining polyethylene (PE) pipes. When we introduced EF joints 150 mm or
more in diameter, an electrofusion simulation program was concurrently developed to
reduce time for design and experimental works. It was verified that the...
1998 Gothenburg : Development of EF Jointing WorksAuthor(s) : Yoshida, Kitaoka, Nishimura
Because dirt ( sand, mud, etc. ) on the fusion interface causes a decrease in the strength of
fusion joints, it is necessary to scrape and clean the pipe surface before fusion jointing.
We have determined the degree of dirt that causes a decrease in the strength of fusion
joints by experiments on peeling off at the...
1998 Gothenburg : Plastic Deformation Behavior of PE Pipes under DisplacementAuthor(s) : Nishimura, Macba, Ishikawa, Ueda
In the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, dthough leak and cracking occurred mainly in
joints of small-diameter steel pipes with screwed joints, no damage occurred to polyethylene
pipes. To secure aseis~uicresistance of gas pipeline, polyethylene pipes are expected to come
into wider use i n the future. To deternune the...
1995 Edinburgh : A study of rapid crack propagation in gas-pressurized PE pipesAuthor(s) : Kitao, Hiarse, Nishimura, Inouge, Ishikawa, Otani, Miyasa, Kato
In this paper, the behavior of rapid crack propagation in gaspressurized polyethylene pipes was analyzed using the method in
which two characteristic curves, i.e., the crack velocity and the gas
decompression velocity, were compared. The crack velocity of
