The stacking sequence of a real scale type IV pressure vessels has been found. Feasibility study of a multiscale model has been carried out by modifying the original stacking sequence. All of the results were displayed in a Sample Performance Chart (SPC), where different burst pressure in terms of mean and scatter had been found.
A general explanation of reduced volume method was introduced. This has allowed the simulation runs much faster without compromising the failure prediction of the multiscale fibre break model. The validation results with a material samples were shown. A certain mesh configuration to evaluate the cylinder has also been found to be the most effective in terms of computation time and prediction accuracy.
Defining a reduced volume zone for the simulation of burst test on composite pressure vessels
(2018)
The developed model uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to evaluate the accumulation of fibre breaks on composite structures. As the micromechanical aspects affecting the accumulation process is evaluated within a particular finite element size (0.1 mm x 0.1 mm x 8 mm), the industries would not be able to use the model on a real-size structure. Therefore, the reduced volume method is used to provide the statistical information between the required number of elements and simulations.
A high resolution micro-CT scan of a hoop layer from type IV cylinder has been carried out. The directional Gradient function had been used to analyse the in-plane and out-of-plane fibre misalignment from the Micro-CT Images. A correlation Analysis of the directional Gradient has also been performed and compared with the existing results from the cited paper.
The fibre-break model developed at Mines ParisTech has been able to show the effect of pressurisation rate on pressure vessels. This simulation however had to use a smaller model, as the computation time becomes enormous for simulating a real-scale pressure vessel. Reduced volume method then has been studied on different model configuration. The study showed that the method can be used only on certain configurations. It also gives a positive insight to reduce the computation time.
Accumulation of fibre breaks under time-dependent loads in CFRP materials of pressure vessels
(2017)
For the moment, there is no existing method to quantify the time-dependent effect on carbon fibre pressure vessels or composite pressure vessels (CPV) in general. Hence, BAM started to investigate how to proof this phenomenon. Several researches has been done and discovered that it is possible for aged pressure vessels to have higher burst pressure value than a new vessels. However, the scientific explanation behind is still an on-going research. Whether the existing model can be used or using another measurement method to gain more data is still in question. Therefore, it is required to find a suitable method to explain such phenomenon and even develop furthermore to give a strength criterion for certain types of pressure vessels
The reduced volume method has been studied using the fibre break model from Mines ParisTech. This method allows less 3D finite elements to be used for predicting the failure of real scale composite structures. A favourable comparison results with racetrack specimens has been achieved. However, the comparison study with a type IV pressure vessels still requires more Evaluation.
Based on the burst test results conducted at BAM, loading rates will affect the strength of composite pressure vessels (CPV). The multiscale fibre-break model developed at Mines ParisTech is able to described this behaviour explained by the stress relaxation in the viscoelastic matrix. The experiment showed an increase of burst pressure when an extreme slow loading rate is used compare to the slow loading rate. Is is then discovered that the model could predict well for the slow loading rate but not for the extreme slow loading rate. It may have something to do with the fibre re-orientation of the hoop layer during the extreme slow loading rate test. Further investigation is required to discover this hypothesis.
The effect of different Weibull parameter from different carbon fibres to predict the failure of a type IV pressure vessel has been analysed. In addition, the effect of the shape and scale parameter has also been done. T700S fibres gave higher burst pressure prediction as it has higher scale parameter and higher stiffness of the fibres. When smaller scale parameter is introduced, lower burst pressure prediction was found and vice versa. Whereas, higher burst pressure prediction was observed when smaller shape parameter was used and vice versa. The latter must have something to do with the higher probability of stronger and weaker fibres in the smaller percentile.
