Industrial applications, especially composite structures bearing high internal pressure, and fabricated using the filament winding process face certain difficulties like the reinforcement of complex shapes, as well as the correct placement of fibers over the surface of a mandrel. In some cases the definition of the manufacturing parameters respond more to cost or time criteria rather than engineering standards, reducing largely the advantages of the said manufacturing process. In order to overcome these obstacles, this research aims to propose a solution that permits to fabricate complex shapes with the desired winding angles at a certain region of complex-shaped mandrels. A numerical tool that simulates the placement of fiber tows over the surface of complex geometries is developed and validated by means of the fabrication of convex and concave composite structures using detachable mandrels. Previous results show that it is feasible to wind complex geometries with good accuracy.

1. Experimental determinations of the hydrostatic pressure in the pseudocoel of living Ascaris lumbricoides were made by a direct method, using a glass helix pressure gauge and by an indirect method using an indentation gauge, both of which are described. 2. The mean value of this pressure was 70 mm. Hg (95 cm. of water), and showed wide and often rhythmical variations from 16 mm. to as high as 225 mm. Hg. Observations on the behaviour of artificially distended worms and of the tension developed by the muscles confirm these results. 3. The mechanical structure of the cuticle, with its inextensible spiral fibrils, forming a basketwork at an angle of 75° to the longitudinal axis, provides for an anisometric expansion and contraction under the action of the longitudinal muscles which is closely in accordance with the observed changes in volume and length. 4. A discussion of the significance of this mechanism and of the high internal pressure suggests that the great similarity of form among nematodes is determined to a considerable extent by mechanical factors.

One-end-open carbon nanotubes with an appropriate radius difference can coaxially self-assemble into a nanocapsule with very high internal pressure (on the order of 1 GPa), underpinning potential applications in nano-reactors, drug-delivery, etc.

The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under high internal pressure are studied by the constant-pressure molecular dynamics method. The results show that SWCNTs are suitable candidates for high pressure nanocontainer, and they can resist 30 GPa to 110 GPa internal pressure. We find that the ultimate internal pressure that nanotubes can sustain is mainly determined by the radius of the tube, and it is not sensitive to the tube chirality. The breaking of the nanotube induced by high internal pressure is mainly due to bond stretching rather than bond angle changing. An elastic model is used to explain the size-dependent ultimate internal pressure behavior for SWCNTs.

This study deals with the buckling of thin cylindrical shells submitted to combined loads such internal pressure, bending and axial compression. A large experimental investigation is conducted and some explanations on the behavior of such loaded structures and on the influence of distinct parameters are gauged. The parametrical studies show the stabilising effect of low internal pressure and a drop of the load capacity for high internal pressure due to the plasticity effect. Specific recommendations are finally established for the design.

This paper presents the results of experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) studies focused on the tensile strain capacity of X80 pipelines under large axial loading with high internal pressure. Full-pipe tensile test of girth welded joint was performed using high-strain X80 linepipes. Curved wide plate (CWP) tests were also conducted to verify the strain capacity under a condition of no internal pressure. The influence of internal pressure was clearly observed in the strain capacity. Critical tensile strain is reduced drastically due to the increased crack driving force under high internal pressure. In addition, SENT tests with shallow notch specimens were conducted in order to obtain a tearing resistance curve for the simulated HAZ of X80 material. Crack driving force curves were obtained by a series of FEA, and the critical global strain of pressurized pipes was predicted to verify the strain capacity of X80 welded linepipes with surface defects. Predicted strain showed good agreement with the experimental results.
