Title: Filament winding - Composite structure fabrication

Book ·
OSTI ID:5642746

A comprehensive account is presented of the state-of-the-art in filament-winding methods for high performance aerospace structural components employing advanced wet and prepreg resins and continuous-filament reinforcements. Component configurations producible by these means encompass cylindrical, spherical, and flat cylinder (flywheel) morphologies; the winding patterns are helical, polar, and hoop-patterned. Attention is given to winding-machine and mandrel types, the analysis and design of filament-wound laminates, mechanical testing methods for laminated composites, composite joints, environmental effects, quality assurance methods, and representative aerospace, marine, and ordnance applications. 138 refs.
