Manufacture and Bending Test of a Cylindrical Laminated Tube with Integrally Formed Ring Flanges

The connection problem of composite tubular members in the domain of transmission ducts and assembly structures remains an obstacle to the wide application of continuous fibre-reinforced composites. Traditional longitudinal connection techniques of composite tubular members to address this problem mostly require the use of metal connectors, which reduces the weight reduction effect of composite materials to a certain extent. To explore a new...
