Filament winding process was adopted to fabricate the carbon/ epoxy tubes and the tubes were tested
by axial compression and tensile experiment. Besides,the mechanical perpoties of the fliamant winding composites was
also tested. The results show that the tensile and interlaminal shear strengths of composite are outstanding. The compos鄄
ite tubes provide excellent axial compression and tensile strength,which are more than 400 MPa and 240 MPa respec鄄
tively. The coneceting form of the tubes and composites laminar shearing strength play important roles in affecting the
axial compression and tensile strength of the tubes.
