Abstract: | <p>Prevailing approaches to the analysis of laminated composite structures are reviewed and serious shortcomings are noted in each. A promising new, more rational method, founded upon the recently developed theory of limited opposites, is described and equations of laminate behaviour are established in accordance with the theory.</p> <p>The new method is employed in the analysis of a fibre-reinforced cylindrical storage tank and a new equations of deflection, applicable for both laminated orthotropic and isotropic materials of construction, is derived. A computer program, based upon this analysis, and capable of performing a complete stress analysis at any point in the tank, is included.</p> <p>Results of a series of parametric studies, relative to the construction of filament wound storage tanks, are reported and new design guidelines are suggested.</p> |
