This concise and timely practitioner guide offers a comprehensive theoretical background and a design procedure for hoop-wrapped composite gas cylinders.
It provides insight into the effects of process variables and how they interact, allowing a predictive approach to design and enabling test results to be assessed in a more meaningful way.
This theory is also generally applicable to all kinds of internally pressurized cylindrical pressure vessels and pipes where hoop reinforcement is an integral part of the design.
