Reuter, Jr, R C

Analytical methods which have been developed for the prediction of stress states inside wound capacitors as a result of winding are discussed, and numerical results of calculations made for prototypical capacitors are presented. In particular, results are presented for radial stress and wound tension throughout the capacitor roll, illustrating the complex state of stress which exists. Results are also presented which illustrate how the stress states develop during the winding process and how the stress states depend on the stiffness of the mandrel. 3 refs., 4 figs.
