THEORIES OF FAILURE OF FILAMENT WOUND CASE COMPOSITE MATERIALS.

Abstract

A critical review of the main theories is presented. It is suggested that the tensor polynomial theory, with a modification for normal stress interaction, be adopted. The failure envelopes for the composite materials being studied for the construction of the casing of the solid rocket booster motor of the US Space Shuttle are obtained using this theory.
