Sec.14 Calculation example: two pressure vessels – Page 199<br />

5.8.4 Alternatively, the vessel could be protected against impact by covers or other protection devices.<br />

5.9 Explosive decompression (ref. Sec.6 [15])<br />

5.9.1 If the air diffuses through the liner more rapidly than it can diffuse out of the laminate, a layer of<br />

pressurised air may build up in the interface between liner and laminate. In such a case the interface should be<br />

vented or experiments should be made to show that the liner will not collapse when the internal pressure is<br />

reduced (Sec.6 [15.2]).<br />

5.9.2 The rate of air flow through the liner is most likely much less than through the laminate and explosive<br />

decompression should be no problem, as long as the vessel is not exposed to external pressures as well, like<br />

under water usage.<br />

5.10 Chemical decomposition (ref. Sec.6 [17])<br />

5.10.1 It is proven by many applications that composite laminates do not chemically decompose in air within<br />

25 years.<br />

5.11 Summary evaluation<br />

5.11.1 Summary is as follows:<br />

— Impact resistance should be evaluated experimentally if the vessel may be exposed to impact loads.<br />

Experiments should show that possible impact loads will not cause fibre damage.<br />

— The gas vessel passed all other requirements for service at 46 bar.<br />

— The reduction of fibre dominated ply strength due to permanent loads is the design limiting factor for this<br />

vessel.<br />

— Obtaining material data from tubular specimens instead of flat plates (as used in this example) would allow<br />

better utilisation of the cylinder.<br />

6 Non-linear analysis of vessel for water without liner<br />

6.1 General<br />

6.1.1 For the water vessel (without liner) it is assumed that leakage will occur if matrix cracking is present in<br />

one of the plies. We apply the 2-D in-plane progressive failure analysis (Sec.9 [2.2]) to evaluate fibre failure.<br />

An alternative method is given under [7].<br />

6.1.2 All relevant failure mechanisms shall be evaluated for all loads of all phases.<br />

6.1.3 The following failure mechanisms were identified in [3.1.3] for the water vessel:<br />

— fibre failure:<br />

— short-term static<br />

— long-term static<br />

— long-term fatigue<br />

— matrix cracking (for vessel without liner):<br />

— short-term static<br />

— long-term static<br />

— long-term fatigue<br />

— impact resistance<br />

— explosive decompression<br />

— chemical decomposition<br />

6.1.4 The filament wound laminate is the same as for the gas vessel in [5.1.4].<br />

6.2 Analysis procedure (ref. Sec.9 [2])<br />

6.2.1 The thin shell method for calculations of laminate stresses is the same as for the gas vessel. The elastic<br />

properties used in the analysis are different.<br />

6.2.2 The elastic properties without and with matrix cracking were calculated in [4.1.4]. The values are<br />

different at the beginning and the end of the life of the component.<br />
