Sumario:This paper analyses the issues relative to the modelling of tubular (cylindrical) composite structures. This paper aims to describe the design of a multi-layer structure of filament-wound composite pipes where, after loading, the hoop-stress distribution would be as uniform as possible. That would allow the mass of the composite to decrease while maintaining the proper mechanical strength. This publication presents the development of a calculation model dedicated to mono- and multi-layered tubular composite structures. The equations describing the stress pattern were based on the Lamé Problem, whereas to describe the modelled structures, an anisotropy coefficient was introduced and interlayer pressures values were determined. To verify the calculations, experimental studies were performed. The test specimens were fabricated by winding fibre bundles around a steel core (as rings with an internal diameter of 113 mm and a height of 30 mm). For the test, the method of pressing a conical ring into a split ring, which acts on the internal surface of the tested cylindrical sample, was selected. The operation of the test rig (test stand) was simulated using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Measurements with strain gauges were conducted during the experiments.
