Report discusses stiffnesses of cylindrical shells formed from composite graphite/epoxy laminates, as calculated from traditional composite-lamination theory. Shells evaluated for use as cases for solid-fuel rocket motors. Stiffness results compared with quasi-experimental stiffnesses developed from pressure tests of cylindrical bottles. Sensitivities of stiffnesses to variations in constituent materials and in geometric parameters examined with help of two computer programs, included in appendix to report.
