TY - CONF A1 - Ghaznavi, Ali T1 - Damage monitoring of hydrogen composite pressure vessels using acoustic emission technique and machine learning N2 - A good understanding of the structural stability of hydrogen composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) is important for the cost-effective design and safe operation of hydrogen storage systems. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a non-destructive method sensitive to microstructural damages such as e.g. fiber breakage, and matrix cracking in COPVs. This study proposes a novel approach for damage monitoring by integrating acoustic emission techniques with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify and predict damage types in COPVs. However, training accurate classification models requires extensive labeled datasets, which are very challenging to generate due to the nature of AE signal data and the lack of in-situ observations of microscopic failures in COPVs. Our research overcomes this limitation by automating the labeling process of AE signal data for different COPVs using unsupervised ML methods. The most representative features were extracted and then selected from recorded AE signals. Different unsupervised clustering algorithms were utilized based on various extracted feature combinations. The most stable clustering result was achieved and later used as appropriate labels for training classification algorithms. A deep neural network-based deep learning (DL) architecture was used to train discriminative models on AE data, identify patterns, and classify damage types into different classes with improved accuracy and speed for each COPV. Results demonstrate the potential of the proposed combined deep learning approach to train predictive models in identifying failure patterns. The trained models based on individual COPVs show high training, validation, and test accuracy for unseen datasets and offer enhanced predictive capabilities by following advanced DL techniques compared to traditional monitoring methods. The proposed method highlights its potential to improve the efficiency and safety of hydrogen storage systems.

Hierzu müssen neue Technologien entwickelt oder bestehende in kurzer Zeit angepasst werden. Das macht sie besonders anfällig für Zwischenfälle und nachfolgenden Akzeptanzverlust. Zu vermeidende Zwischenfälle hängen oft von den deterministischen Mindestanforderungen in Norm und Recht ab, die erfahrungsbasiert entwickelt wurden. Hier ist die Monte-Carlo-Simulation eine wertvolle Hilfe. Sie erlaubt, auf der Basis von wenigen ermittelten Daten zu bewerten, welche statistische Wirkung aus einer Mindestanforderung resultiert und was angepasst werden muss, um die im Zuge eines Markthochlaufes relevanten Zielgrößen zu erreichen. Ein Verfahren, das im Rahmen der Normung erlaubt, die Wirkung einer Mindestanforderung auf die Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit zu bewerten, wird zurzeit im Rahmen des Projektes DIN/TS 19472 unter dem NA 016-00-03 AA ausgearbeitet und hier vorgestellt.

T1 - DIN TS 19472 - Das Monte-Carlo-Experiment in der Normung N2 - Der Foliensatz erläutert den Denkansatz, die Normstruktur und eine evtl. Programmstruktur für das Normungsprojekt TS 19472. Das Spannungsfeld heutiger Normung basiert auf den immer komplexer vorhersagbaren Eigenschaften Fertigungsstreuung und Bauteilalterung. Während man die Bauteilalterung mit neuen Verfahren der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung usw. betriebsbegleitend bewertet, kann der Fertigungsstreuung mit ihrem Einfluss auf die zu erwartenden Ausfälle nur mit probabilistischen Mitteln direkt begegnet werden. Ein probabilistischer Zulassungsansatz würde aber zu enorm komplexen Bewertungsprozessen führen, die wiederum in ihrer Feldanwendung komplexer zu bewerten und damit ohne langjährige Erfahrung fehleranfälliger als deterministische Verfahren sein dürften. Um diesen Konflikt aufzulösen, bietet es sich zumindest übergangsweise an, den probabilistischen Ansatz nicht unmittelbar in der Zulassung anzuwenden, sondern die in der Breite vertrauten, deterministischen Zulassungsvorschriften auf ihre Wirkung zu überprüfen und ggf. zu optimieren. Hierzu kann die systematisch numerische Wiederholung eines sog. Monte-Carlo-Experiments eingesetzt werden. Hierzu wird für verschiedene Parametersätze, die die Grenze noch akzeptierter Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit beschreiben, das nachfolgend beschriebene, numerische Experiment wiederholt ausgeführt. Die Wiederholung erfolgt in definierten Variationsschritten über das gesamte Spektrum praktisch relevanter Streuungswerte. Jedes Experiment besteht somit aus der Generierung einer Grundgesamtheit zu dem für den jeweiligen Variationsschritt spezifischen Parametersatz. Danach wird die Grundgesamtheiten in Zufallsstichproben einer definierten Größe aufgeteilt und jede simulierte Stichprobe auf deren Akzeptanz gemäß dem betrachteten Akzeptanzkriterium in der Norm analysiert. Daraus resultiert für jede Grundgesamtheit aus dem Einzelexperiment die Wahrscheinlichkeit zur Annahme einer Stichprobe . Mit der systematischen Wiederholung des Experiments ist der Verlauf  der Akzeptanzwahrscheinlichkeit bekannt, mit der eine grenzwertige Eigenschaft nach einem deterministischen Akzeptanzkriterium noch angenommen werde würde und damit auch ein ungenügendes Baumuster aufgrund der jeweils betrachteten Eigenschaft nicht abgelehnt werden würde.

T1 - Wie kann SHM qualitätssicher und rechtssicher angewendet werden? N2 - Many SHM applications developed at universities and research institutions have not yet left the laboratory scale. Possible reasons for this include: - Real components and structures are often more complex than expected, - The POD (probability of detection) of the SHM system is usually difficult to determine, - The reliability of SHM systems is often unsatisfactory, and - The transition from recurring inspection to permanent monitoring with automated SHM systems fails due to existing safety regulations and testing standards. The workshop addresses these issues and aims to present solutions that facilitate the practical use of SHM. The solutions will be developed using real-world applications, such as those in the field of renewable energy. N2 - Viele SHM-Anwendungen, die an den Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen entwickelt wurden, haben den Labormaßstab noch nicht verlassen. Mögliche Gründe dafür sind, - dass reale Bauteile und Strukturen häufig komplexer sind als erwartet, - die POD (probability of detection) des SHM-Systems zumeist schwer bestimmbar ist, - die Zuverlässigkeit der SHM-Systeme oft nicht zufriedenstellend ist und - der Übergang von wiederkehrender Prüfung zur permanenter Überwachung mit automatisierten SHM-Systemen an vorhandenen Sicherheitsrichtlinien und Prüfvorschriften scheitert. Der Workshop greift diese Fragestellungen auf und soll Lösungsansätze aufzeigen, die den Einsatz von SHM in der Praxis erleichtern.

In this study two designs of wet filament wound 6.8-liter type 4 composite pressure vessels were manufactured. Both differ only by the internal pressure used during the filament winding, which primarily influences the residual stress state in the composite structure. An extensive experimental study was carried out, including 10 slow burst tests and strain measurements with fiber optic sensors. Significant differences can be observed in the performance of the two designs even though the used stacking sequence, materials and other manufacturing parameters are the same for both designs. A discussion of the differences in the behavior of both cylinder types is provided, including the strain distribution in slow burst tests and failure mechanism.

Two 6.8-liter Type 4 cylinders with identical geometry and fiber stacking sequence were analyzed using pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imaging. One cylinder was wound under constant internal pressure, while the other used increasing pressure to influence residual stress and influence imperfections. This difference led to distinct failure mechanisms in burst tests. The study focused on identifying porosity and resin-rich areas, visualized through ultrasonic wave propagation imaging and variable time-window amplitude mapping. Results revealed that the cylinder wound with increasing pressure had better composite consolidation but more resin-rich areas in the hoop windings. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of pulse-echo ultrasonic imaging as a non-destructive method for detecting manufacturing-induced imperfections and highlight the importance of optimizing filament winding parameters to enhance composite quality.

A possible way to maintain the highest safety levels is through the structural health monitoring of the composite cylinders. Here, the use of fiber optic sensors appears to be a promising approach. However, the integration of the optical fibers into the composite structure of a pressure vessel has been shown to be challenging. In this study, insights on the embedding of optical fibers in the composite structure under industrial conditions are provided. A protection concept for the ingress and egress of the optical fibers is presented. Finally, the results from destructive slow burst tests are evaluated, showing no clear trend in the impact of the embedded optical fibers on the performance of composite pressure vessels.

Das führt zu Defiziten in der (sicherheitsorientierten) Verfügbarkeit von Zulassungsgrundlagen. Um das auszugleichen wird vorgeschlagen, auf die Schutzzielfestlegung zu fokussieren, was die genaue Beschreibung des Anwendungsbereiches und evtl. sicherheitstechnischen Hintergrund (Unfälle etc.) mit umfasst. Auf dieser Basis sollten Wirkungsweise entwickelt und diskutiert werden können. Für ein solches System muss es ein klares Rollenverständnis geben. Als universellsten Ansatz wird die probabilistische Sicherheitsbewertung diskutiert. Dies erfordert klare Vorgaben zu Risikokennzahlen. Als Beispiel werden Wasserstofftransportfahrzeuge mit Größtflaschen über einem Druck-Volumen-Produkt von 1.5 Mio bar Liter vorgestellt. Um diese Einheiten im Transport zu beherrschen, spielen neue Sicherheitsansätze eine große Rolle. Diese können aber nur dann effizient aufgebaut werden, wenn das einzuhaltende Schutzziel konkret und überprüfbar ist. T2 - Normungsroadmap Wasserstofftechnologien; 5.

T1 - Die Schallemissionsprüfung in der Überwachung von Gasspeichern aus Composite - Handlungsempfehlungen für pränormative Forschung & Handlungsbedarfe für Regulatorik N2 - Die Transporteinheiten für Wasserstoff auf der Straße nehmen stark zu. Der Aufwand für die wiederkehrende Prüfung nimmt schneller zu als die dafür verfügbaren Kapazitäten. Gleichzeitig wird immer mehr in Groß0serien hergestellt. Vor diesem Hintergrund spielt die Effizienz in der Prüfung eine zunehmende Rolle. Verlässt man den Transportbereich kommt auch der Aspekt der Machbarkeit hinzu. Große stationäre Speichersysteme mit vielen Einzelelementen lassen sich organisatorisch und bzgl. Verfügbarkeit mit 100%-Wasserdruckprüfungen nicht mehr wirtschaftlich darstellen. Das Ziel ist es, für nicht einzeln gehandhabten, sondern fest eingebauten Speicher, den Aufwand in der Prüfung erheblich zu reduzieren, indem Stichproben gezogen werden und die Prüfergebnisse für die Gruppe gleicher und gleich eingesetzter Speicher herangezogen werden. Dies hat zwei Grenzen: Zum einen muss das Prüfverfahren aussagekräftig genug sein, um eine statistische verwendbare Aussage zu liefern, die eindeutige Schlüsse auf die Sicherheit zulässt. Zum anderen muss das Urteil über die Gruppe eine hinreichende Zuverlässigkeit im Betrieb belegen. Ist diese Bedingung nicht mehr erfüllt, wird die Gruppe wieder der 100%-Prüfung zugeführt, um mit dem gleichen Prüfverfahren wie bei der Stichprobenprüfung, schlechte von guten Individuen zu trennen. Hierzu bedarf es der Weiterentwicklung der Schallemissionsanalyse als zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren und eines passenden Stichprobenansatzes mit probabilistischer Bewertung. Beides erfordert pränormativer Forschung und nachfolgende Rechtsänderungen. T2 - Normungsroadmap Wasserstofftechnologien; 5.

A1 - El‐Sharkawy, A. T1 - Alpine Crust and Mantle Structure From 3D Monte Carlo Surface‐ and Body‐Wave Tomography N2 - An ongoing controversy revolves around the detailed structure of the subducting European and Adriatic plates under the Alps and the adjacent orogens. Mostly based on P‐wave travel time tomographic images, slab break‐off at different times, reversals of subduction polarity and segmentation of the slab into independent units have been proposed. These processes may have important geodynamic consequences such as rapid surface uplift, past magmatic events or changes in the style of continental collision. However, some of the tomographic results are contradictory, particularly evident in the uppermost mantle where teleseismic P waves traverse the medium almost vertically with few ray crossings and a stronger dependence on the crustal correction. In this work, we present the result of an innovative joint inversion approach using surface‐ and teleseismic body‐wave travel times to mitigate some of the shortcomings in both data types. Applying a reversible‐jump Markov chain Monte Carlo approach, we simultaneously constrain the and structure and their uncertainties in the crust and upper mantle. The results indicate a continuous slab structure from the crust‐mantle boundary down to at least 400 km depth under the western, central and eastern Alps. The results, however, also suggest that fitting the data within their respective measurement uncertainties may not be sufficient to reliably determine the presence of a shallow slab break‐off beneath the Alps.

During pressure cycling, the DFOS system measured strain changes, that under normal operating conditions were linearly correlated to changes in pressure. To detect and quantify damage-related anomalies, we trained a simple regression model to predict strain from pressure data and used the difference between predicted and measured values as a damage indicator. With our approach, the DFOS system not only detected and localized the damage but also continuously tracked its evolution in real time under dynamic pressure conditions. Furthermore, unlike previous studies where optical fibers were embedded within the composite structure, we applied them on the COPV surface, reducing both implementation cost and time while eliminating the need to modify the COPV manufacturing process. Based on our results, we are confident that DFOS can enhance safety and facilitate the transition from time-consuming periodic inspections to more efficient, machine learning-based predictive maintenance.

Discussion of creep phenomena during initial loading of type 4 composite pressure vessels N2 - To maintain the highest safety standards for compressed gas storage in composite pressure vessels, a deeper understanding of their ageing mechanism is required. In the present study, the impact of an initial loading under increased temperature and sustained pressure on the safety of type 4 composite pressure vessels is investigated. Two designs of type 4 cylinders were manufactured, the only difference being the internal pressure function used during the filament winding process. Hence, their residual stress state and the quality of the composite layers varied. Ten pressure vessels were initially loaded under sustained pressure and increased temperature, and later subjected to slow burst tests. Comparing the results with cylinders tested in a pristine state underlines a significant improvement in the performance of initially loaded cylinders of one of the designs. This phenomenon was caused by a significant decrease of the scattering of burst pressures within a sample. At the same time, a slight decrease of the burst pressures could be observed. An explanation of this behavior could be supported by strain measurements with fiber optic sensors, which were embedded in the composite material. The strains measured during the initial loading indicate a stress redistribution, which has an impact on the strength of the pressure vessel. Moreover, an increased stiffness during the slow burst tests after initial loading was observed that indicates a better exploitation of the individual layers of the composite structure. The study supports previous observations on the increased performance after initial loading and provides new insights into the strain development in creep effects in type 4 pressure vessels.

However, its cryogenic storage poses significant challenges, particularly regarding safety and insu-lation efficiency. In mobile applications, multilayer insulation (MLI) under vacuum conditions is widely used due to its lightweight and high thermal resistance. Yet, under accidental scenarios such as fire exposure, MLI can degrade rapidly—leading to increased heat ingress and potential hazards like BLEVE or jet fires. To enable the safe integration of LH₂ into transport infrastructure and, eventually, broader energy supply chains, critical safety concerns must be addressed to gain public and industrial acceptance. This study inves-tigates the thermal degradation behavior of MLI under extreme conditions and introduces a model to quan-tify its impact on heat transfer. The results demonstrate that insulation integrity plays a pivotal role in sys-tem safety, and tailored mitigation strategies can be developed accordingly. These findings contribute essen-tial knowledge toward safer LH₂ storage and support the broader adoption of hydrogen as a sustainable energy vector.

For on-board and transportation applications, hydrogen is commonly stored as a compressed gas in pressure vessels. Full composite wrapped Type 4 pressure vessels are especially beneficial due to their high weight-saving potential and their capability to withstand high working pressures. To maintain an appropriate safety level, the mechanical behavior of the composite structure has been the subject of investigation in numerous studies. In this study, the failure mechanisms of two designs of Type 4 cylinders are investigated. The two designs differ solely in the manufacturing process parameters, particularly the internal pressure applied during the filament winding process. Variations in internal pressure result in different residual stress states and changes in the quality of the composite structure. The stacking sequence, materials used, and other manufacturing parameters remain unchanged. The cylinders show different failure mechanisms in slow burst tests: one design fails in hoop windings, while the other one fails in helical windings, despite no stress exaggeration in the fiber direction being observed with embedded optical fibers or in numerical simulations. To explain the failure mechanisms, the quality of the cylinders is investigated. The results of X-ray computed tomography and pulse-echo investigation, highlight the complexity of the interactions between manufacturing process parameters, residual stresses, manufacturing quality, and the mechanical behavior of composite pressure vessels. Resin-rich areas in the composite material are identified as a possible cause of the differing failure mechanisms.

A1 - Günzel, Stephan A1 - Bock, Robert T1 - Risk management and consequence control in hydrogen transport - volume dependent pressure limitation as a scientific approach for consequence control N2 - With technological development, the transport units for compressed gases are becoming larger and their number is increasing. Simultaneously, the filling pressure for hydrogen in transport has increased far beyond the 200 bar, which has been the common European standard for decades. In total, this increases the potential consequences of an incident, which needs to get limited for ensuring acceptance in current practice with pressure vessels from large serial production. Consequently, the measures for new developments of extremely large and highly pressurised pressure vessels should meet a risk based higher level of requirements. For this purpose, the so-called pressure-volume product was proposed as a safety related criteria to the relevant regulatory bodies in 2020. The approach was accepted, and a working group was set up at the United Nations for developing a broadly accepted limitation of today's established pressure vessels compared to future units with even more gas content. The path to the finally decided limit value of 1.5 million bar litres is presented here for hydrogen with its individual steps: ‘Boundary between major accident and disaster’, ‘The effect of pressure waves on the human body’, ‘The propagation of pressure waves’, ‘The reference value for population density’ and ‘Impact of pressure waves’. This result of the UN working group has been accepted in December 2023 and will lead to a binding limitation of the pressure volume product for the so called pressure receptacles by 2027. The work on units larger than this pV-limit is going on at ISO level.

However, the integrity of such tanks can be jeopardized by fire. In such a scenario, MLI materials degradation can occur, leaving the tank unprotected from the fire heat flux, with consequent rapid pressurization and a high risk of failure. This study presents a safety assessment of non-combustible MLI under fire exposure based on the estimation of the time to mechanical failure of the equipment. This is calculated through an innovative model that simulates the thermomechanical response of the tank, including the MLI thermal degradation and the pressure-relief valve (PRV) operation. The application to several case studies that consider a typical LH2 tank featuring a wide range of MLI configurations demonstrated the likelihood of failure in case of exposure to a hydrocarbon pool fire, providing also comprehensive insights into the impact of the insulation characteristics and operating conditions on the time to failure.

Does this also entail new risks for instance from a BLEVE? A key to answer this question is to research representative fires by its characterization and its effect on the insulation. At BAM’s technical test side in Germany, a test series was started to answer this question among others. This paper presents results on a pool fire under a colorimeter, that simulates a tank. The investigation points out, that the full fire characterization approach allows to represent the fire. The findings are relevant for the investigation of a representative design fire that is applicable for the approval and improvement of tanks as well as to research accident scenarios and their consequences.

Hydrogen can be well integrated into the electrical energy infrastructure, and its production and use is free of direct GHG emissions. However, tanks are needed for worldwide storage and transportation, which require further development and upscaling. In the EU-funded NICOLHy project, novel insulation concepts based on Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP) are being investigated. These aim to enable the safe, cost- and energy-efficient storage of large quantities of LH₂. Such large-scale LH₂ storage technology is necessary to build transport and stationary tanks with capacities ranging from 40,000 m³ to more than 200,000 m³ of LH₂, similar to current LNG applications. However, new design concepts are needed, as the technologies currently used for small and medium-sized storage are not suitable for upscaling. The main disadvantages of the current state of the art in terms of upscaling are long production times due to complex process chains, low failure tolerance, and the spherical shape of the tanks, which reduces payload in technical applications by up to 50% compared to other geometries. The novel concept aims to overcome these limitations by being modular, open-form, energy-efficient, time- and cost-efficient in production, operation, and maintenance, safe while being multi-failure tolerant, and suitable for both transport and stationary applications. To achieve these ambitious objectives, experts from all over Europe in the fields of thermodynamics, cryogenics, marine, chemistry, process, and safety engineering are working hand in hand. Within the NICOLHy project, several insulation concepts have been developed and will be benchmarked using a set of key performance indicators aligned with the overall project goals. During the development process, refined and detailed research questions were formulated, which are being addressed through ongoing theoretical and experimental studies. In this context, small to large-scale test rigs are being built to evaluate and quantify insulation materials and concepts. The presentation will showcase the NICOLHy project and its progress. NICOLHy will contribute to accelerating the integration of hydrogen into the European energy economy and industry—supporting the European Green Deal and fostering public trust in both policy and technology.

To support this transition, energy carriers with minimal or zero environmental impact are required. Liquified hydrogen represents a promising candidate due to its emissions-neutral properties. However, its highly flammable nature necessitates adherence to strict safety codes and standards. Storing hydrogen often requires advanced super-insulation materials. To enhance the safety of cryogenic hydrogen storage tanks under extreme conditions, such as those encountered during fire accidents, it is crucial to understand the thermal behaviour of the tank. Predicting pressurization and potential failure in advance demands a robust and comprehensive model. However, still such models suffer lack of detailed heat transfer models which account for various sub-processes during an accident scenario. Hence, this study introduces a comprehensive model for the pressurization of cryogenic tanks equipped with multi-layer insulation (MLI) systemsin the event of fire, which comprises several sub-models. These sub-models account for heat transfer phenomena through the thermal insulation at nominal conditions and its thermal degradation during fire exposure, the fluid, the internal pressurization, and the performance of the pressure relief valve. This study provides valuable insights into the safety and the behaviour of hydrogen storage tanks under thermal loads.

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) is a promising energy carrier due to its high gravimetric energy density, but its storage requires advanced insulation to minimize heat ingress and prevent excessive boil-off losses. Multilayer insulation (MLI), perlite, and microspheres are commonly used under vacuum conditions, yet their performance under fire exposure remains a critical concern. This study investigates the thermal degradation of insulation materials and its impact on heat transfer in an event with extreme thermal load conditions using the Cryogenic High-Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (CHTTVC). The heat flow dynamics are analyzed, and an equivalent heat transfer coefficient is proposed to quantify the impact of insulation deterioration as the outer wall temperature increases. Additionally, a novel liquid-vapor interface monitoring method is introduced to improve real-time detection of phase changes within the tank. The results highlight that insulation failure substantially increases the heat flow, which, if not mitigated, can lead to boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVE), jet fires, or catastrophic tank failure. The findings provide valuable insights into optimizing LH2 storage safety and improving emergency response strategies for cryogenic tanks exposed to extreme thermal conditions.

In this study, the incremental hole-drilling method was applied to investigate residual stresses in filament wound type 4 composite pressure vessels. The investigated composite cylinders were manufactured with different internal pressure functions during the winding process, to achieve distinct residual stress states. Additionally, the influence of the initial loading under sustained internal pressure and increased temperature on the stress distribution was investigated. It was shown that the residual stress state can be influenced by varying the internal pressure in the winding process. After testing at sustained load and increased temperature, a stress redistribution was observed, which took place due to creep phenomena. Finally, a discussion of the challenges for the application of the hole-drilling method to composite pressure vessels is provided.

Under some conditions those protections measures even reduce the effort for organisational safety measures if e.g. the emission of splinters can get totally prevented. Another aspect is the improved reproducibility of fire tests by reducing the influence of wind. Between 2017 and 2019, BAM developed a stackable protective frame made of steel to safely capture splinters for the safe execution of high-energy impact tests. However, this frame was not flexible enough for the follow-up project, which led to a completely new protection concept for (potentially) destructive tests on gas-filled pressure vessels. This concept is based on very robust building blocks made from welded steel. Despite their considerable weight of around 500 kg p.p., they can be combined and stacked very easily like ‘Lego bricks’. The presentation will show the flexibility of the concept, some results of tests on the robustness against pressure waves and the effectiveness in wind attenuation. Finally, the interaction with a new, also modular burner concept for localised fires and full engulfment fires will be presented.

Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring is a non-destructive testing technique capable of detecting signals from different failure mechanisms such as fiber breakage and matrix cracking, supporting durability assessment of CPVs. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to combine AE and advanced deep learning techniques to develop a robust framework for automatic and accurate identification and classification of damage mechanisms across various CPVs. The evolutionary Genetic Algorithms (GA) was used for feature selection, followed by unsupervised clustering to generate automatic labels for model training. Two different FCNN and CNN-LSTM architectures were used to train individual models based on different AE datasets. Later, Adaptive Transfer Learning (ATL) and Meta Ensemble Learning (MEL) techniques were applied to handle data variability and train predictive generalized model over varied AE datasets. The ATL fine-tunes a pre-trained models to leverage their knowledge, while MEL uses pre-trained models' predictions as meta features to train a meta model. Experimental results demonstrate that while both generalized ATL and MEL trained models perform well across different AE datasets, the MEL framework outperforms ATL method in terms of evaluation metrics. The Mean-Accuracy score reaches 0.9026, and 0.9900 for ATL, and MEL, respectively. The most accurate multi-class classification results was achieved using MEL method in terms of the Mean-Accuracy and Recall metrics. The proposed framework provides a scalable, adaptive approach for automated damage classification using AE signals across diverse CPVs in real-world settings.

T1 - Discussion of creep phenomena during initial loading of type 4 composite pressure vessels N2 - To maintain the highest safety standards for compressed gas storage in composite pressure vessels, a deeper understanding of their ageing mechanism is required. In this study, two designs of type 4 cylinders were manufactured the only difference being the internal pressure function used during the filament winding process. Hence, their residual stress state and the quality of the composite layers varied. Ten pressure vessels were initially loaded under sustained pressure and increased temperature and later subjected to slow burst tests. Comparing the results with cylinders tested in a pristine state underlines a significant improvement in the performance of initially loaded cylinders of one of the designs. This phenomenon was caused by a significant decrease of the scattering of burst pressures within a sample. At the same time, a slight decrease of the burst pressures could be observed. An explanation of this behavior could be supported by strain measurements with fiber optic sensors, which were embedded in the composite material. The strains measured during the initial loading indicate a stress redistribution, which has an impact on the strength of the pressure vessel. Moreover, an increased stiffness during the slow burst tests after initial loading was observed that indicates a better exploitation of the individual layers of the composite structure. The study supports previous observations on the increased performance after initial loading and provides new insights into the strain development in creep effects in type 4 pressure vessels.

The sensing fibres are integrated into the composite structure by wrapping them over the polymer liner in the helical and circumferential direction during the manufacturing process of the carbon fibre reinforced polymer. The following use of optical backscatter reflectometry allows for continuous condition monitoring and precise detection and localization of structural damages during the entire service life. To account for the time-dependent strength degradation of the composite pressure vessels, both slow burst and ambient hydraulic cycling tests, respectively, were conducted on five 70 MPa pressure vessels with integrated fibre optic sensors. The results achieved via distributed fibre optic strain sensing demonstrate a near linear strain response to pressure suitable for sensitive condition monitoring and confirm the required robustness of the selected sensor solution.

T1 - Risk management and consequence control in hydrogen transport - volume dependent pressure limitation as a scientific approach for consequence control N2 - With technological development, the transport units for compressed gases are becoming larger and their number is increasing. Simultaneously, the filling pressure for hydrogen in transport has increased far beyond the 200 bar, which has been the common European standard for decades. In total, this increases the potential consequences of an incident, which needs to get limited for ensuring acceptance in current practice with pressure vessels from large serial production. Consequently, the measures for new developments of extremely large and highly pressurised pressure vessels should meet a risk based higher level of requirements. For this purpose, the so-called pressure-volume product was proposed as a safety related criteria to the relevant regulatory bodies in 2020. The approach was accepted, and a working group was set up at the United Nations for developing a broadly accepted limitation of today's established pressure vessels compared to future units with even more gas content. The path to the finally decided limit value of 1.5 million bar litres is presented here for hydrogen with its individual steps: ‘Boundary between major accident and disaster’, ‘The effect of pressure waves on the human body’, ‘The propagation of pressure waves’, ‘The reference value for population density’ and ‘Impact of pressure waves’. This result of the UN working group has been accepted in December 2023 and will lead to a binding limitation of the pressure volume product for the so called pressure receptacles by 2027. The work on units larger than this pV-limit is going on at ISO level.
