Structural Performance of Unstiffened Laminated Composite Pressure Vessels

Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7

Abstract

The use of composite materials improves the performance of the vessel and offers a significant amount of material savings. In this paper buckling analysis of woven fiber reinforced multi layered composite shell under pure internal pressure is conducted and its structural performance is studied. The thickness of pressure vessel is kept constant and number of layers and angle of orientation of each layer is altered. Three composites are considered for the study namely carbon/epoxy, E-glass/ epoxy and S-glass/ epoxy for the tank body. After static and buckling analysis of unstiffened pressure vessels it is concluded that carbon/epoxy laminated composite pressure vessel with 15 numbers of layers at 90° orientation has shown the best performance.
