Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of deformations of a carbon-fiber-reinforced layered cylindrical yacht mast. The mast is subjected to an axial compressive load and analytical expressions for the resulting stress fields are obtained. The analysis is used to predict the failure mode for a particular class of yacht masts.
