heal.abstract	The use of the Finite Element Method to perform the structural analysis and the design of a soft PVC pipe reinforced with a helical rigid PVC ribbon is a difficult task. The reasons are numerous, i.e. the two PVC materials have very different mechanical properties (the elastic modulus ratio is approximately 300), the large displacements (elongation of the pipe as high as 50% can be observed) and the nonlinearities that are taking place. To optimize and simplify the pipe design a new approach for the design of such structures have been developed based on the uniform stress distribution hence full, complex and costly FEA simulations are not required.	en
