ITERATIVE SEARCH FOR THE ISOTENSION DESIGN OF THE BAND WOUND VESSELS WITH LINER

An iterative scheme to utilize the pretension process for the band wound vessels with a liner was proposed. Combined with the real-fictitious finite element analysis strategy developed by the authors or some simplified analytical equations, the typical cylinder vessels wound with steel band or carbon fiber were analyzed. Numerical results show that a pretension process can be obtained ensuring the tensions in each wound layer to get a respectable value and the provided iterative scheme gives a much suitable pretension process for the engineering practice.
