FABRICATION OF PRESSURE VESSEL THROUGH FILAMENT WINDING PROCESSES
Abstract
The mechanics of filament winding are discussed from the standpoint of fabricating combustion chambers for rocket motors. Special attention is given to the winding of resin-reinforced glass filaments directly on solid-propellant grains. Mathematical expressions for stresses in pressure vessels of various shapes: spheroids, cylinders, geodesic ovaloids, and isotensoids are derived, and winding patterns suitable for each are discussed. Filament-winding machinery is discussed, and recommendations are made regarding the modification of a winding machine already in use at NOTS. (Author)
