Abstract:
In this report, conditions are derived under which a path on a general smooth surface is wrappable or capable of receiving an essentially one- dimensional flexible filament under tension that clings to the surface throughout its length and does not slip. Wrappability considerations are of practical importance in the fabrication of filament-wound composite pressure vessels, for instance. The general wrappability conditions derived are applied to two special cases general cylinders and general surfaces of revolution.
