ABSTRACT:
A circumferentially extending structure 30 for containing particles having an axial component and a radial component of velocity is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a support structure 46 and a fabric 44 wrapped under tension about the support structure such that the installed length of the fabric is greater than the free length of the fabric. In one particular embodiment the fabric is coated with a layer of epoxy resin such that the resin penetrates only the top layer of the fabric to form a shield 95 which protects the containment fabric from injury. A method for forming the circumferentially extending structure is disclosed which includes the steps of forming a support structure and wrapping a fabric about the support structure under a preload to cause an elongation of the fabric and tension in the fabric in the installed condition.
