Finite element analysis of composite tubes with integral ends subjected to bending loads

<p>An analytical investigation was perfonned to study the effect of applied bending loads on laminated composite tubes. Elasticity-based linear models were developed using finite element software to predict stresses within the individual plies of the tubes. The tubes under investigation were g...
