Improved, Low-Stress Economical Submerged Pipeline

{ntb_intro_text}A preliminary study has shown that the use of a high-strength composite fiber cloth material may greatly reduce fabrication and deployment costs of a subsea offshore pipeline. Above-water pipelines are often not feasible due to safety, cost, and environmental problems, and present, fixed-wall, submerged pipelines are often very expensive.{/ntb_intro_text}
