Nomographic design procedures are developed for a metallic cylinder (e.g., a rocket motor case) circumferentially reinforced with a pre-strained elastic fibre overwind. Techniques for calculating the pressure for first yield in the metallic case and the optimum winding conditions are presented, together with a technique for determining the maximum fibre stress.
Design examples are presented with each nomogram in turn and the graphical results are compared with exact numerical values.
