Abstract: In this method of fabricating a hollow body, a first layer of fiber-reinforced hard-elastic plastic is formed to produce an inner layer of the hollow body with the fibers of the fiber-reinforced hard-elastic plastic extending skew to the longitudinal axis of the hollow body within a predetermined range of fiber orientation angles. A second outer layer of fiber-reinforced hard-elastic plastic is formed around the inner layer with the fibers oriented in a predetermined different range of fiber orientation angles. At least one of the layers is heated to a desired elevated temperature. At least one of the layers is subjected to a predetermined force or combination of forces. The hollow body is then cooled to the hard-elastic state, locking internal stresses into the two layers when the applied forces are removed.
