Abstract: | It is proposed to employ a variable winding tension designed to give a required initial stress distribution. The program is constructed on the basis of solutions describing the loss of tension associated with winding and the softening of the resin during heat treatment. The problems are solved in the elastic formulation. Programs are obtained for three cases: constant tension in a ring sill on the mandrel, compensation of the stresses that develop after removal from the mandrel, and compensation of the thermoelastic stresses that develop during cooling.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
