PROBLEMS FOR HELICALLY WOUND CYLINDERS.

Abstract

This paper deals with boundary value problems involving the deformation of hollow cylinders which are continuously reinforced throughout by two families of helically wound fibers. This type of cross-ply reinforcement can be realized fairly easily in practice by winding on a drum consecutively in opposing directions, and is sometimes termed balanced angle-ply. It has practical applications in the construction of pressure vessels, pipes, shafts and axles.
