Evolution of Soviet equipment for fabricating and exposing filament wound composites to magnetic fields
Abstract
Many essential characteristics of filament-wound composites (FWCs), such as interlaminar and intralaminar transverse and shear properties, are frequently found to be inadequate; FWC structural failures are invariably traceable to defects with one or the other of these characteristics. The Soviets recognized this factor circa 1965 and proceeded to rectify the problem through the development of devices which filament-wind a structural item while exposing it to a magnetic field. By these means, the Soviets have been found capable of producing FWC shapes with variable radius of curvature or intricate geometry without forfeiture of superior transverse and shear properties.
