TY - GEN A1 - John, Sebastian T1 - Monitoring of residual stresses in composite pressure vessels via modal analysis N2 - At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM), within a recent research project, the aging process of composite pressure vessels is investigated in order to be able to give more accurate lifetime predictions in future. All investigations are primarily based on type III pressure vessels consisting of an aluminium tank which is fully wrapped with carbon fibre reinforced plastics. Research is focused on residual stresses which are induced into the pressure vessel during manufacturing process in order to increase high cycle fatigue. However, with increasing lifetime residual stress conditions of type III pressure vessels change. For measuring and monitoring inner stress conditions, the application of a non-destructive measurement method is aspired. Within this paper, the potential of an experimental modal analysis is tested to determine aging and degradation effects of pressure vessels. Based on this method, information about changes of the residual stresses can be obtained via an analysis of the modal parameters. Realizing this, first a finite element model is used to prove and evaluate potential capability and validity for the application of an experimental modal analysis. Based on this, a test bench is set up and successively optimized in its accuracy and efficiency. The sensitivity of the applied measurement technique is experimentally evaluated via measuring multiple prestress modified pressure vessels. Furthermore, a selection of prestress modified pressure vessels is monitored via the presented method. Finally, experimentally obtained results are interpreted and evaluated with the help of numerically gained finding.
