Summary: This paper investigates the influence of fiber tension on the mechanical properties and gravimetric efficiency during the manufacturing of composite pressure vessels. Three series of samples were manufactured and tested, and the effect of fiber tension on the steel liner, burst pressure, and acoustic emission was analyzed. Numerical investigations were also performed to support the experimental results. The study shows that increased fiber tension leads to higher burst pressure, improved mechanical properties, and increased gravimetric efficiency.

Summary: The study analyzed a Type III hydrogen pressure vessel composed of an aluminum liner and composite layers, focusing on the rapidly changing thickness of the composite layers at the dome part. By considering the helical winding angles and hoop winding controls, the varying thickness at the junction of the cylinder and dome parts was precisely estimated. The effect of geometric changes in composite layers on the filament overhead was examined, leading to an analytical prediction of composite thickness at the dome part, which was verified using finite element analysis.

Summary: A novel method is proposed to predict the thickness of composite vessels without relying on the straight-line assumption. The winding pattern obtained from the non-geodesic equations is considered in this method. A model is developed to determine the critical band width for full fiber coverage, and the geodesic offset is used to calculate the band boundary lines. The effectiveness of the method is validated by comparing the predicted thickness with experimental results, showing a high precision with an average relative error of 1.51%. The influence of the winding pattern on the thickness distribution is demonstrated by calculating the dome thickness for a specific composite pressure vessel and comparing it with other methods. It is found that the circuit number decreases and the thickness decreases with an increase in the dome slippage coefficient.

Summary: This study investigates the burst behavior of filament winding basalt/epoxy composite cylindrical pressure vessels with graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement. The study found an increase of 13.34% in burst failure pressure for non-reinforced samples and increased strain in radial and axial directions for GnPs reinforced samples. Damage formation and progression under internal pressure were evaluated, with improvements in mechanical performance attributed to the homogeneous distribution of GnPs in the epoxy matrix and strengthened fiber-matrix interface adhesion.

Summary: Hydrogen is considered a promising energy medium and is often stored in high-pressure composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). The current state-of-the-art technology, Type V, relies on carbon fiber laminate for structural properties and gas leakage prevention. However, achieving functionality at high pressure poses engineering challenges. The traditional filament winding manufacturing process for COPVs has limitations in design space, but automated fiber placement (AFP) has the potential to overcome these limitations and optimize vessel manufacturing.

Summary: In this paper, a new form-finding method based on spatial elastica model (FMSE) is proposed for elastic gridshells. The method integrates the deformations of elastic rods into the overall deformation of the gridshell, and solves a set of transcendental equations using the quasi-Newton method to ensure the deformation satisfies the given boundary conditions. The method is validated through experiments and expected to have potential applications in the investigations of elastic gridshells.

Summary: This study investigates the performance of composite pressure vessels under damaged and undamaged conditions, providing insights into their reliability and residual strength capabilities. The results demonstrate that the damage profile and its effect on compressive strength are similar between damaged and non-damaged cylinders. When subjected to quasi-static compression, the polyethylene liner absorbs enough elastic strain energy to recover without plastic deformation. Additionally, quasi-static compression has little to no influence on the axial strength of the cylinders. The damage characterization reveals fiber breakage, delamination, local buckling, and brooming failure. This study has direct implications for the safety design tolerances, manufacturing strategies, and operational failure conditions of composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs).

Summary: This paper presents a study on six single-stringer specimens manufactured using the card-sliding technique with non-crimp fabrics and adopting a Double-Double (DD) stacking sequence. The specimens were tested under compression loading conditions to investigate post-buckling and failure in aerospace structures. Experimental results and numerical simulations were compared to analyze the behavior and failure modes of the specimens. The study found promising evidence of a viable solution to optimize aeronautical structures and enhance resistance to skin-stringer separation, particularly with the use of tapered flanges.
