Design and analysis of filament-wound composite pressure vessels based on non-geodesic winding

In this paper a novel design approach was proposed for determining the optimal winding parameters of composite pressure vessels based on non-geodesic trajectories. With the aid of the differential theory and winding principles, the non-geodesic trajectories were derived for various tangent points. The obtained non-geodesics for composite pressure vessels were simulated using MATLAB to verify the validity of the trajectory design. The influence...
