The relationship of the winding process variables and the mechanical properties of filament wound composites is investigated experimentally. The winding process variables considered are the fiber tensions and the fiber ends. The filament wound ring specimens are fabricated using 3-axis controlled filament winding machine. Two types of carbon fibers, TZ-507 and IZ-40, are used as reinforcements and epoxy for filament winding is used as resin. During the winding process, the fiber tensions are varied from 0.5kgf to 3.0kgf, and the number of the fiber ends are varied from 1 to 6. The fiber volume fractions and the void contents for the ring specimens are measured through the resin digestion. The mechanical properties of the ring specimens are also evaluated by the split disk test. The test results show that the winding process variables affect the fiber volume fractions and the void contents of the ring specimens, which result in the variation of the tensile properties of the ring specimens. Therefore, suitable winding process variables should be applied to maximize the structural performance and the productivity for filament wound structures.

To develop composite bridge deck, comparative study on the flexural characteristics of deck fabricated with filament winding and pultrusion was performed. In this study, composite deck of triangular shape was fabricated with filament winding process and flexural tests were conducted along with pultruded 'Duraspan' deck. Failure load, maximum deflection and strains were compared with each other. Also finite element analysis for filament winding deck was carried out and the results were compared with those from experiments.

Among many fabrication methods of composite materials, filament winding is the most effective method for fabricating axis-symmetric structures such as pressure tanks and pipes. Filament wound pressure tanks are under high internal pressure during the operation and it has the complexity in damage mechanisms and failure modes. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the tank through its operation as well as whole fabrication process. A large number of sensors must be embedded into multi points of the tank from its fabrication step for monitoring the whole tank. Fiber optic sensors, especially fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensors are widely used for various applications because of good multiplexing capabilities. However, we need to develop the embedding technique of FBG sensors into harsh inner environment of the tank far the successful embedment. In this paper, we studied the embedding technique of a number of FBG sensors into filament wound pressure tanks considering multiplexing.

Filament wound pressure vessels have been studied for the efficient design tool to consider the variation of fiber angles through-the thickness direction. Filament winding patterns were simulated from semi-geodesic fiber path equation to calculate fiber path on arbitrary surface. Finite element analyses were performed considering fiber angle variation in longitudinal and thickness directions by ABAQUS. For the finite element modeling of the pressure tank, the 3-dimensional layered solid element was utilized. From the stress results of pressure tanks, maximum stress criterion in transverse direction was applied to modify material properties for failed region. In the end of each load increment, resultant layer stresses were compared with a failure criterion and properties were reduced to 1/10 for a failed layer. Results of progressive failure analysis were compared with two experimental data.

In this study, a micro-genetic algorithm was utilized for the optimal design of filament wound composite cylinders subjected to hydrostatic pressure for underwater vehicle application. The objective of the optimization was to maximize the design allowable load considering the buckling and static failure loads. A commercial finite element program, MSC.NASTRAN, was used for buckling and failure analysis. An open-source micro genetic algorithm by Carroll was modified for the optimization. The design variables are the helical winding angle and hoop layer thickness. The results of examples show that the micro genetic algorithm can be successfully applied to the optimization of filament wound cylinders with various geometries and gives better efficiency than general genetic algorithms.

Since the residual stress of hydrogen tank is directly related to durability, it is very important to reduce it for safety. Type II~IV hydrogen tank are manufactured by the filament winding method, in which the fiber is impregnated with resin and wound around the liner. Residual stress in composite is affected by curing conditions and fiber tension etc. In this study, the effect of curing conditions on residual stress was analyzed when manufacturing a Type III hydrogen tank using carbon fiber filament winding process. First, the curing behavior of the epoxy resin was analyzed using a differential scanning calorimetry. Through this, the curing temperature was set to 140℃. During the same curing time, the specimens were cured under 2-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ earlier and a 4-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ later, respectively. After curing, the residual stress of the composite material was measured by the ring slitting method, and the experimental values were compared with numerical values. It was confirmed that there was a significant difference in residual stress according to the optimization of curing conditions.

Thus paper summarizes the procedures to develop the downscaled payload kick motor for KSR-III by KARI. Filament winding-a well-known method of manufacturing composite motor case - is adopted to reduce structural weight. Netting and lamination theories are used to determine adequate winding thickness under required internal pressure. Dome shapes are designed considering feasible winding patterns and easiness of mandrel manufacturing. T-800 carbon fiber and Novolac type resin are selected for weight-reduction. The separate mandrels are disassembled and removed after filament winding. The manufacturing process of real payload kick motor is developed from the design experience of downscaled ones.

This paper is concerned with anisogrid composite lattice structures whose load bearing shell is formed by systems of geodesic unidirectional composite ribs made by automatic wet winding process. Lattice structures are usually made in the form of conical shell and consist of systems of helical and hoop ribs fabricated by continuous filament winding from carbon and epoxy composites. Design variables of the structure which are the angle of helical ribs and ribs spacings are determined by cone geometry and geodesic line. and Fabrication methods for the conical composite lattice structure are presented.
