ANALYTICAL CRITERION FOR FEASIBLE FILAMENT WINDING OF COMPOSITE TAPES ON PRISMATIC STRUCTURES

The filament winding method is one of the most efficient technologies for manufacturing composite structures with high strength-to-weight ratios. Traditionally, this process has been widely used for the production of axisymmetric structures such as pressure vessels, pipes, and cylindrical shells. However, modern aerospace and mechanical engineering increasingly require the production of composite structures with complex geometries, including prismatic and frame-type elements.
