Sec.14 Calculation example: two pressure vessels – Page 187<br />

2.8.2 The pressure vessel will be released once a week for less than 1 hour. In 25 years, this will add up to 1300<br />

cycles between 0 bar and 46 bar for the gas tank and between 0 bar and 14.8 bar for the water tank.<br />

2.8.3 The vessel will be pressure tested to peak pressure for certification after installation.<br />

2.9 Environment (ref. Sec.3 [10])<br />

2.9.1 App.A [A.4] contains a checklist of common environmental parameters. Only relevant environmental<br />

parameters for this example are included in Table 14-10.<br />

Table 14-10 Long-term development of environmental parameters<br />

Environment: Char. value COV Sustained value Fatigue value<br />

Natural:<br />

Temperature external (surrounding air): 20 °C ±50% * 20 °C Not relevant here<br />

Functional:<br />

Temperature internal (water /air): 20 °C ±50% * 20 °C Not relevant here<br />

Exposure to water<br />

(for water vessel only)<br />

- permanent<br />

* Temperature changes of that magnitude do not modify the properties of the materials considerably. Therefore, the COV is not<br />

critical in this example.<br />

3 Failure mechanisms<br />

3.1 Identification of failure mechanisms (ref. Sec.6 [1])<br />

3.1.1 All failure mechanisms on the material level shall be identified. A minimum list is given in Sec.6 [1.1.2].<br />

In this example the relevant failure mechanisms for a laminate are identified in Table 14-11.<br />

Table 14-11 Failure mechanisms relevant for laminates<br />

Fibre failure<br />

Matrix cracking<br />

Matrix crack growth<br />

Delamination<br />

Elastic buckling<br />

Unacceptably large displacements<br />

Stress rupture<br />

Fatigue<br />

Wear<br />

Fire*<br />

Explosive decompression*<br />

Impact*<br />

Chemical decomposition<br />

* these items are load conditions, but are treated here as failure mechanisms to simplify the approach in the standard.<br />

3.1.2 Once the relevant failure mechanisms for the material are identified they shall be evaluated with respect<br />

to the critical failure modes of the component. Failure mechanisms that are linked to critical failure modes shall<br />

be analysed, other failure mechanisms can be ignored. Linking failure modes and mechanisms is shown in<br />

Sec.6 [1.5]. The results for this example are given in Table 14-12.<br />
