EFFECT OF LOADING RATE AND WINDING SEQUENCE ON FATIGUE AND RUPTURE OF PRESSURIZED, FILAMENT-WOUND, GLASS-REINFORCED PLASTIC CYLINDERS.

Abstract

Cylindrical glass-reinforced plastic test specimens simulating gun-tube sections were fabricated, using 4 combinations of 5 layers of helical and 7 layers of circumferential winding. These specimens were subjected to mechanical loadings similar to those occurring in gun tubes. Experimental data was used to generate curves depicting the response of burst strength to the rates of loading, cyclic loading, and various diameter-to-thickness ratios. Other mechanical properties such as Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus were determined. (Author)
