Abstract
A primary goal of the work reported here was the development of a degradation model to predict the first damage and burst pressure offilament reinforced metallic spherical vessels. Using the simple method proposed by Tsai and Roy(Composite Design, 3rd edn, Think Composite, Dayton, Ohio, 1987) for composite cylinders, these modelling concepts have been combined with the laminate plate theory and the quadratic failure criterion. Experimental results obtained from burst tests are presented. These values are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.
