A Simplified Analytical Solution for the Computation of Machine Path in Filament Winding of Cylindrical Angle-Ply and Double-Double Structures

This paper presents a simplified computation approach for the machine path (or winding trajectory) of grid structures and tubes with circular cross-section angle-ply or double-double layup. The solution is given through controllable degrees freedom low-cost two-axis filament (FWM): mandrel rotation translation delivery eye along axis mandrel. efficiency analytical FWM was ascertained by automated laying cotton thread over geodesic non-geodesic groove imprinted on surface cylindrical polylactide These results validated possibility manufacturing composite an layup stacking sequence, without need expensive software, making technology accessible to society promoting university extension.
