Influence of the Structure and Number of Reinforcement Layers on the Stress State in the Shells of Tanks and Pressure Pipes

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Fiber- reinforced shells manufactured by winding bands of fiber rovings and a revision of the basic problems connected with their design are addressed in the article. The importance of fiber type and matrix properties for the damage process of such laminar shells and for establishing criteria of their design is investigated. Particular attention is given to the mechanism of shearing of their matrix layers, which leads to delamination. Practical recommendations for the design and manufacture of wound shells are formulated.
