    According to the manufacturing characteristics of tubular filament wound products and based on the basic parameters such as dry fiber tow cross-section area,fiber volume fraction,mandrel geometric parameters and the turning numbers of mandrel during one lay-up carriage,the paper presents a tube-wall thickness calculation method.Then,according to the circumferential uniform stiffness and axis-symmetrical properties of filament wound tubes,an tube-wall element model for analyzing a filament wound tube under tensile,shear,bending and torsional loadings is presented.Finally,the tube-wall thickness calculation method and the tube-wall element analysis model are used to filament wound tubes.The theoretical calculation results are compared with the experimental and FEM numerical results,and have good agreements.

    High aerodynamic performance is desirable for a horizontal axis wind turbine design.Wind turbine including rotor with complicated structure works in a quite execrable condition,it is unpractical to calculate the aero- dynamic performance with all influence factors considered.In this paper,the effects of various factors including solid- ity,pitch angle,cone angle,tilt angle,yaw angle and blade thickness on the aerodynamic performance of horizontal axis wind turbine rotor were analyzed based on momentum and blade element theory.Such investigation shows that the aerodynamic performance is sensitive to some factors,and others not.Proper parameters can be selected to opti- mize the design of a wind turbine to capture as much energy from wind as possible with low cost.

    Based on the durability test of CFRP in ordinary,alkali and chloride environment,the influence of corrosion environment on mechanical behavior of CFRP is studied.Test results indicate that CFRP subjected to al- kali environment shows that the tensile strength has the tendency of degradation,the modulus and ultimate strain re- mained basically unchanged|CFRP subjected to chloride environment shows the tensile strength and modulus of CFRP has the tendency of increase,the ultimate strain remained basically unchanged.

    The tensile property,high-temperature resistance and dielectric property of silicone resin/silica fiber composites were studied.Results showed that pretreatment methods of fiber had important influence on the tensile property of fiber and composites.Agent on the surface of fiber could be removed completely by way of dipping in tol- uene and then heating at 350℃for 400 seconds,meanwhile keeping an acceptable tensile strength of silica fiber. The composites could keep excellent mechanical and dielectric properties after high temperature heat treatment.The tensile strength of the composites was over 360MPa and the dielectric constant was below 3.30,which met the re- quirements of antenna mask.

    Copolymers,modified Polyarylacetylene (MPAA),of diethynylbenzene with 4,4'-dipropargyl diphe- nylether were prepared.The rheological and cure behavior of MPAA was investigated by using viscometer and DSC method respectively.The results revealed that MPAA showed excellent processability and offered lower cure exother- mic heat than PAA' s.Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) indicated that the cured MPAA resin showed good heat resistance with a glass transition temperature of over 340℃,and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated cured MPAA resins held high thermal stability.The glass fabrics reinforced MPAA composites were prepared and their properties were tested,the MPAA composites exhibited improved mechanical properties.

    In RTM process,the condition,which the flow of resin in the pipeline accords with the Darcy's law is laminar fluid movement,and the Reynolds number is less than 1.This paper used the finite element method by changing the size of length and diameter of the import and export pipeline,simulated the flow of the resin in the pipeline.In the result,the relationship of the speed on the exports and Reynolds number,also the scope of flow rate of the resin in the pipes can be gained.The test result shows that:exit velocity has little to do with the length,but the ra- tio of pipeline diameter.When the diameter of imports is 6 mm、10mm、16mm and 20mm,and the diameter of exports is 6 mm,10mm and 16 mm respectively,the maximum speed is 694.442 mm/s,416.667 mm/s and 260.414 mm/s.

    The experimental results of the structural fatigue performance of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams repaired with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets were summarized in this paper.Ten RC beam speci- mens (152×254×3,200mm) were constructed.One was neither strengthened nor corroded to serve as a refer- ence|three were corroded but not repaired|another three were corroded but repaired with U-shaped glass FRP sheets that wrapped the cross section of the specimen|and the remaining three were corroded and repaired with U- shaped glass FRP sheets for wrapping and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets for flexural strengthe- ning.The FRP sheets were applied after the main reinforcing bars were corroded to an average mass loss of 5.5%. Following FRP repair,some specimens were tested immediately to failure while the other repaired specimens were subjected to further corrosion before being tested to failure to investigate their long-term protecting performance.Re- inforcement steel pitting due to corrosion reduced the fatigue life significantly.The FRP wrapping had no significant effect on the fatigue performance,while using CFRP sheets for flexural strengthening enhanced the fatigue perform- ance significantly.The fatigue life of the retrofitting RC beams was increased with the decrease of the reinforcements stress amplitude.

    Wind turbine blade will be developed to be bigger,less weight and higher performance.High per- formance blade is needed for the high efficient wind turbine.Aeroelastic tailoring is an effective method to design high performance blades,bend-twist coupling is one of the way to realize aeroelastic tailoring.This paper builds up the theoretic equation of bend-twist coupling through study on the control parameters.Redesign of 750KW-blade- spar-cap is made using bend-twist coupling method,in which glass fiber is replaced by carbon fiber,results show that the whole blade performance will be improved greatly.
