Abstract: | The results are given of a statistical treatment of experimental data on several characteristics of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic cylindrical shells, prepared from glass fabric TS8/3-250 and epoxide binder IF-ÉD-6 (TU-26-59) at the "Électroizolit" factory by winding an impregnated fabric cloth on a mandrel. The experim ental data on the mechanical properties of the glass-fiber-reinforced plastic material were obtained in tests on representative samples cut from the margin of the cylindrical shells. The results of the statistical analysis can be used to evaluate the mechanical reliability of structures made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic material of the above type.Moscow.
