Abstract

An experimental technique to characterize filament-wound composite tubes radially under impact loading conditions is described. The technique does not incur any risk and it uses a drop-weight machine to pressurize the test specimens with water via an end-plug. A comparison of the static and dynamic properties of glass-fibre reinforced plastic tubes reveals that the dynamic properties an higher than their appropriate static values.
