MINIMUM WEIGHT DESIGN FOR COMPOSITE TUBES,
Abstract
A thick-walled cylindrical tube consisting of a liner or inner cylinder and a jacket or outer cylinder of dissimilar materials is investigated. The objective is to determine minimum tube weight for entirely elastic response to any required maximum internal working pressure. This is accomplished by optimizing liner and jacket dimensions and the residual stresses resulting from the fabrication process. The results are intended to provide a preliminary guide for the design of tubes using a metallic liner and a composite jacket which may be a fiberglass or similar wrapped filament structure in a suitable matrix.
