Abstract

With a “C” computer programme based on the optimizations method, a whole process of wire –winding can be simulated and the initial and working stresses in a container can be quantitatively estimated represented. Some results of a computer simulation of a wire - winding process regarding radial and circumferential stresses as a radial position in the high - pressure vessel, under and under maximum pressure, are presented. Also a comparison between results of Tresca and criterion used for winding tensions calculations are discussed.
