 | ST7-1.40.50.3 Modelling a Composite Pultruded RailPultrusion is a continuous composites manufacturing technique whereby fibre is pulled through a series of processing steps, resulting in a cured continuous shape.  Pultrusion typically consists of a unidirectional fibre core, with the ability to add a continuous braid around the outside.  In this example we will cover the stress analysis of a handrail subject to bending and external pressure loads.
   On half of the symmetric geometry of a pultruded composite stairway is shown below. The IGES geometry... |   |
