Abstract
Filament winding techniques have been developed to give glass-fibre reinforced plastics of higher specific strengths than other materials. The way in which the materials are processed is as important as the materials themselves if optimum performance is to be obtained. A hoop and longitudinal configuration of filaments has advantages over a helical arrangement, giving prospects of higher initial strength and improved performance in long-term or cyclic loading. Resin properties are relatively unimportant in short-term tests on simple tensile specimens. They become increasingly important in more complex stress systems, in compression, and under sustained loading conditions. Improved fatigue life may be expected from laminates made with more extensible resins or with stiffer fibres
