Abstract:In [1], an equation is derived for calculating the critical stress of failure of unidirectional composite tubes in the form of a Chinese lantern (splitting of a tube into strips with subsequent loss of stability):where ~ is the specific work of failure upon splitting along the fibers, E is the elastic modulus in the direction of the axis of a thin-walled tube, R is the radius, and L is the length of the tube. Equation (1) is widely used both for scientific-methodical purposes and for calculating certain compos… Show more
