Complete determination of stress in fiber preforms of arbitrary cross section

Abstract

An algorithm for determination of all the stress components in fiber preforms is presented. Complete stress distribution in a bow-tie type fiber preform has been determined. The reliability of the results has been checked using macro static equilibrium conditions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
