Abstract
The technology of fabricating composite hardware and structures by filament winding has evolved empirically through the development and manufacturing of specific components. This chapter reviews areas of technology used in building composite parts and discusses the processes from which the current technology was derived. The discussion covers quality control requirements for composite fabrication technology and cleanliness standards in the workplace. It describes technology developed for specific components, including satellites struts, aircraft hydraulic cylinders, drill pipe, drive shafts, couplings, and cryogenic tubing.

Abstract
After several failed attempts to lower their starboard wheels for landing, pilots engaged the help of gravity through g-force maneuvers and managed to coax the wheels into place. An inspection following the incident revealed a broken universal joint in one of the linkages that opens and closes the doors to the undercarriage compartment. The failed component was removed from the aircraft and examined using optical and electron microscopes. Under low magnification, the fracture surface appeared jagged except for one corner that was relatively smooth. SEM fractography revealed the presence of fatigue striations in the smooth region and dimpling elsewhere. Based on their findings, investigators concluded that fatigue loading initiated a crack in the universal joint that progressed with time and that the final fracture occurred due to bending tensile overload.
