Abstract
The application of finite element method (FEM) to the solution of cutout and inclusion problems in Filament Wound Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FWFRP) pressure vessel is considered. The analysis of pressurised laminated composite shell, which can be regarded as a heterogeneous body consisting of a finite number of orthotropic layers bonded together, with an elliptical hole is carried out. The influence of uniform shear force distribution along the hole boundary is studied. The numerical results of pressurised laminated composite shell with transverse elliptical hole filled by edge bonded elastic cover are also presented. Predicted stress distribution through the thickness of composite shell with cutout/inclusion at critical locations on the hole boundary is presented in graphical form and discussed.
