Filament winding. Part 1: determination of the wound body related parameters

Non-geodesic filament winding on generic shells of revolution

“…3), the derivatives u 0 and v 0 can directly be related to the basic metrics E and G, and the parameter s [2,8,11]…”

“…Filament-wound objects are increasingly becoming mass-production items [1,2]. Originating as a technique for producing rocket engine cases, this manufacturing method made considerable advancements with the introduction of computational methods in the 1980s.…”

Finite element validation on adhesive joint for composite fuselage model

“…The disadvantages of the composite manufacturing process of filament winding can be formulated in terms of expensive equipment, long production times and lack of flexibility regarding the shape of the object to be wound (Koussios, Bergsma and Beukers, 2004). Dahdi et al (2009) successfully developed a novel fabrication technique of a miniature composite fuselage.…”

The mechanics of the braiding process

“…There are also several papers about fi lament winding for composites whose analytical and numerical results can be directly applied to the investigation of over-braiding, such as the prediction of the yarn path for open braids (Koussios et al , 2004) or to the winding of forms with concave profi les in (Hongya et al ., 2008). In most cases, these works mainly apply geometrical methods to calculate the yarn path, and so are unsuitable for closed braids where the forces between the yarns are important.…”
