Abstract

A manufacturing process of composite pressure vessel was studied. The vessel was fabricated using the filament winding process. It is utilized as a container of high pressure Helium gas which propels a rocket fuel and an oxidizer. The layup patterns were determined based on the lamination theory. 3-axis controlled filament winding machine was developed to realize the patterns. The vessel was successfully fabricated using the developed machine. And the hydraulic pressure test was performed to measure an applied pressure-strain relations on the composite vessel.
