Mathematical study of the mechanical properties of NOL rings with different winding process parameters

This study investigates the impact of different winding tension parameters (40 N, 45 N, and 50 N) on the quality of fiber-wrapped products using the Navy Ordnance Laboratory (NOL) composite rings. Design Expert software was utilized to analyze the response surface of fiber winding process parameters, including winding tension, winding speed, and curing temperature, which significantly influence the mechanical properties of the fiber. Mathematical models were developed to understand the combined effects of these process parameters on the mechanical properties of NOL rings. Furthermore, a satisfaction function was employed to synthesize the two mechanical response variables into a comprehensive index for parameter optimization. Experimental validation was conducted to verify the reliability of the proposed design scheme. [Display omitted]
