Abstract

Structural behavior of high-pressure composite vessels of TYPE 3 (full-wrapped over a seamless aluminum liner) was studied through numerical simulations based on 3D nonlinear finite element method. Under high-pressure loading, a TYPE 3 composite vessel shows material nonlinearity due to elastic-plastic deformation of aluminum liner, and mismatch of deformation at the junction of cylinder and dome causes geometrical nonlinearity. Finite element modeling and analysis technique considering this nonlinearity was presented, and a pressure vessel of 6.8L of internal volume was analyzed. Design specification to satisfy requirements was determined based on analysis results.
