Simulation of the geodesic and non-geodesic trajectories of the filament winding

Conference ·
OSTI ID:143571
The analysis of simulation data plays a key role in the determination of the filament winding trajectories over the mandrel. Through simulation, not only the most appropriate filament winding for a specific purpose can be chosen, but also wrong winding configurations can be avoided. An interactive environment for the analysis of the filament winding has been developed and is briefly described. A suitable algorithm for computing geodesic and nongeodesic trajectories is presented. Analytical expressions for the determination of the winding angle law on a general axisymmetric surface of revolution are presented. Expressions to evaluate the maximum winding length to avoid the use of unproper winding parameters, initial winding angle and slippage tendency, are also presented.
