Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with experiments to determine the strength of filament wound carbon fibre / epoxy resin tubes subjected to biaxial stresses. Internal pressure and axial load are applied simultaneously to produce a variety of biaxial stress conditions. Different classes of [±θ]. interwoven pattern tubes are tested to investigate the effect of winding angle θ on elastic properties and failure strength. Tubes were first subjected to low axial and internal pressure loads, separately applied to obtain the laminate stiffness properties. Specimens were then loaded to failure at a prescribed ratio R of hoop to axial stresses. Theoretical elastic properties and failure envelopes obtained using a finite element analysis computer programme and different failure theories are compared with experimental results.
