Abstract
Abstract Kinematic aspects of filament winding for cylindrical mandrels having any smooth convex cross-section are discussed in this paper. A method is proposed to determine the motion of delivery point relative to the mandrel to ensure that fibre lay-down is of the predetermined path over the mandrel. Experimental verification of the process was carried out on a cylindrical mandrel having an elliptic cross-section with a semi-major axis a = 77.98 mm (3.07 in) and a semi-minor axis b = 39.98 mm (1.574 in). All the experiments were performed on a computer-controlled filament winding machine having two degrees of freedom. The effects of location of delivery point, mandrel geometry, and fibre winding angle on delivery point motion are discussed.
