E-Glass, Epoxy, ANALYSAbstract
In this study, optimal angle-ply orientations of symmetric and anti-symmetric shells constructed for supreme
burst pressure were examined. Burst pressure of filament wound complex pressure vessels under alternating pure
internal pressure was investigated. The study deals with the winding angle on filament wound complex pressure vessels.
Finite element method was employed to verify the positive turning angles. The result was reported and discussed for
various orientation angles. Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) was manufactured by E-glass-epoxy fiber. The specimen had
ten layers which had various orientation angles. The layers were oriented symmetrically and anti-symmetrically for,
[45o
/-45o
/90o
/45o
] orientations. The finite element solution was obtained using commercial software ANSYS 11.0.
