Hello,

I am looking for relations/formula that can provide me the required fiber tension for working carbon fiber material in filament winding machine.
 
A preliminary study reveals that the determination of the required tension for a particular fiber depends on the part diameter,pattern to be wound and material of the fiber and tension determination is done experimentally.

What range of tension should i set my filament winding machine on? what governs its determination and can it be found by calculations?

Please cite references .

regards,
