This paper presents a comparison of pressure for composite laminated cylinders leading to progressive damage of subsequent plies. Laminates made of epoxy resin with glass fibre used in various ply stacking sequences are considered. Numerical calculations based on Mathcad author’s code are performed. Results utilising last ply failure criterion are specified. The effects of subsequent ply angles on load capacity is investigated.
