Abstract

The response of filament-wound composite tubes subjected to pure bending is studied. The decrease of D/t ratios and increase of winding angles improve the ability to resist buckling failure whereas increasing winding angle generates complex trend in material failure. The ultimate failure mode depends on the interaction of D/t ratio and winding angle. FEM results are in good agreement with experiments.
