Failure Initiation and Progression in Internally Pressurized Non-Circular Composite Cylinders

In this study, a progressive failure analysis is used to investigate leakage in internally pressurized non-circular composite cylinders. This type of approach accounts for the localized loss of stiffness when material failure occurs at some location in a structure by degrading the local material ela...
