A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in the fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Engineering. 1992 / The absence of reliable design data for Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) road tankers has been considered an obstacle for the local design and manufacture of such vehicles. This has prompted the analysis, using Finite Element Methods (FEM) of a filament wound cylindrical shell for a monocoque road tanker. [Abbreviated Abstract.
