Development of Mathematical Models for the Design of Composite Structures

This article presents the development and improvement of mathematical models for fiber paths using filament winding technology (FW) for composite parts. The accuracy of these models was verified through simulations and experimental testing of manufactured composite symmetrical samples. The fiber winding angle was considered an influential factor for precise model creation. Symmetrical composite samples were produced using these models, with different winding angles (10°, 60°) and combinations of angles. All samples were laboratory tested for hoop tensile strength to meet quality requirements for composite pipes. The analysis of the results provided conclusions about the behavior of composite samples according to the predicted models. This research has significant applications in various industries, including space, aerospace, automotive, military, and marine.
