The objective of this work is to find a method that describes the degree of damage from an impact experiment. This experiment was performed on Composite Pressure Vessels (CPV) in order to find the correlation of impact damage to the residual burst pressure. Computed Tomography (CT) approach was used to capture the before and after impact condition of the CPVs. The Wasserstein function was used to calculate how much the after impact image has differed from the original one. In the end, a good correlation was obtained to the residual burst pressure.
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.
The reduced volume method has found a particular zone to be used for evaluating the strength of unidirectional composite materials. To validate the method, modelling an experimental test where it has the same basic assumption of the model had been carried out. The result was favourable as the model can predict the average value from the experiment and also the time dependent effect.
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 developed model has certain limitations of the element size to be used in the simulation to characterise the strength of composite materials. A reduced volume method is proposed in order to reduce the number of degree of freedom of the finite element simulation.This study has revealed certain configuration to be followed to speed up the computation time.
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.
Defining a Reduced Volume Zone for the Simulation of Burst Test on a Composite Pressure Vessels
(2018)
The random nature of fibre break in composite materials has to be modelled in all part of the structure as it may contain millions of fibres. The reduced volume method was introduced to determine a smaller zone where we could characterise the strength based on the accumulation of fibre break, hence increasing the computation time
It is pertinent to have a correct description of fibre strength described by the twp parameter Weibull distribution when evaluating a type Iv pressure vessel using the fibre break multiscale model developed at Mines ParisTech. Earlier studies have shown a positive comparison result when T600S fibre strength were used. This study has discovered what would be the effect on the predicted strength when T700S strength is used.
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.
The Reduced Volume Method (RVM) has been used to evaluate the multiscale fibre break model developed at Mines ParisTech. It allows the model to be assigned only at certain part of the structures without necessarily compromising the final prediction. An attempt to model a simple unidirectional composite structure has also been carried out and gave a satisfying result. This paper deals with the application of the RVM to real scale type IV composite cylinders, where its stacking sequence was evaluated through micro-CT scans conducted with the collaboration of the University of Southampton. Two modelling geometries were evaluated and compared with the corresponding experimental results.
Accumulation of Fibre Breaks under Time Dependent Loads in CFRP Materials of Pressure Vessels
(2018)
BAM has discovered that the reliability of tested composite pressure vessel will be altered when the loading speed is varied. The ageing of composite materials in general gives negative effect to the structure, however there might be positive effect occurs due to the load redistribution between the fibres. The study on the negative effect of ageing has been compared favourably with the fibre break model from Mines ParisTech. To improve the model's capability, this positive effect should also be implemented. The problem however to evaluate real scale model that might take extensive computation time. The reduced volume method then was proposed to improve the calculation time. The next study is then to check the approach on different loading condition and compare the result with experimental data provided by BAM.
The developed fibre-break model from Mines-ParisTech requires an improvement in terms of calculation time for analysing real-scale model. By implementing the proposed method, the number of representative volume element and monte-carlo run can be optimised to obtain certain confidence level of the results. By reducing this level, faster computation can be done. This approach has given us a positive insight that it can be used for studying real-scale model of composite pressure vessels.
Adopting X-ray computed tomography (XCT) for ex-situ characterization of battery materials has gained interest in the past decade. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of several X-ray computer tomography techniques to study commercial batteries. General guidelines are provided to select the most suitable imaging equipment and parameters for investigations of lithium-ion batteries, spanning the length scales from cell to electrode, down to particle level. Relevantly, such parameters would also be suitable for operando experiments.
Safety mechanisms and manufacturing inconsistencies at cell level as well as defects and inhomogeneity in cathode and anode is illustrated and quantified. Furthermore, relation of beam energy and sample-detector-distance on contrast retrieved from attenuation and phase shift is inspected using Synchrotron XCT.
