Filament Winding—A reinforced-plastics process that employs a series of continuous, resin-impregnated fibres applied to a mandrel in a predetermined geometrical relationship under controlled tension. 

Mat n. A fabric or felt of glass or other reinforcing fibrous material cut to the contour of a mold, for use in reinforced-plastics processes such as matched-die molding, hand lay-up, or contact-pressure molding. The mat is usually impregnated with resin just before or during the molding process.
