Abstract

Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to examine the effect of metal and composite thickness on burst pressure and deformation of composite over wrapped pressure vessel (COPV) under fluid pressure. Low carbon steel and carbon-epoxy had been selected for the metal and composite vessel respectively. A constant fiber orientation angle had been considered. FEA results were compared and found to be in good agreement with those obtained from analytical equations to validate the final element approach. Analysis had been extended to metal pressure vessel, composite pressure vessel and COPV to study the effect of overwrapping. Metal and composite vessel thickness were varied. The composite vessel exhibited bursting strength higher than metallic pressure vessel and COPV considered for the analysis. The results showed that composite vessel possess greatest bursting strength.
