Abstract
This paper deals with the elastic stresses of internally or externally pressurized long thick-walled composite cylinders with fixed ends. Cylinders are made of unidirectionally aligned transversely isotropic fibers and isotropic matrix. Axial and radial fiber alignments are considered, and analytical solutions are derived accordingly. Effects of fiber direction and fiber volume fraction alteration on the elastic limit stresses are analyzed. It is observed for both internal and external pressure cases that fiber direction and fiber volume fraction are important parameters which impact the elastic behavior of the cylinders.
