Results are presented from torsion tests conducted on 36 multilayered, filamentwound, glass-epoxy tubes. Configurations with helical windings and with alternating helical and circumferential windings were investigated for various winding angles. loadings, shear moduli deduced from linear shear stress-strain curves were found to be in reasonable agreement with analytical predictions. Under larger loadings, various degrees of nonlinearity in shear stress-strain curves were encountered, depending on the helical winding angle. Experimental torsional strengths were defined by a 0.2 -percent offset yield s t r e s s o r by maximum stress when large nonlinearities did not exist. These strengths were compared with torsional buckling predictions for orthotropic cylinders, and with material strength predictions based on orthotropic yield criteria and elastic s t r e s s analysis. puted elastic buckling stresses were considerably higher than the experimental strengths for most of the test specimens except for those with only 30° and 450 windings. Experimental torsional strengths-were found to correlate with conventional yield predictions if predicted yielding in certain layers were ignored o r i f unrealistically large transverse tensile and shear strengths of unidirectional laminae were employed in the analysis.
