6.5 Matrix cracking under long-term cyclic fatigue loads (ref. Sec.4 [3.9])<br />
6.5.1 Matrix cracking under long term static loads can be ignored if the stresses are below the level to initiate<br />
matrix cracking, and if the vessel can carry the loads with a fully cracked matrix according to Sec.4 [3.9.5].<br />
This is shown in [6.6]. In addition, the total number of fatigue cycles shall be less than 1500. This is the case<br />
in this example.<br />
6.6 Fibre failure - short term (ref. Sec.6 [3])<br />
6.6.1 Matrix cracking will occur before fibre failure. Fibre failure can be analysed by modelling the laminate<br />
as a laminate full of matrix crack. This is basically the same way as for the gas vessel, except that elastic<br />
properties shall be degraded for the possible presence of water when analysing the component. The ply strains<br />
are given in [6.2.6].<br />
6.6.2 The short-term static design criterion for fibre failure on the ply level is given by:<br />
6.6.3 The following values are selected for the water vessel without liner:<br />

6.6.4 Evaluation of the criterion above (see [6.6.2]) shows that the maximum allowable strain in fibre direction<br />
ε nk after 25 years of service is 0.70%. This is much more than the actual strain ε 1 =0.23%.<br />
Guidance note:<br />
This vessel is designed against cracking of the matrix. Usually the margin against fibre failure is large in such a case.<br />
Calculating the margin against failure with a new stress analysis using fully degraded properties may appear as an<br />
unnecessary effort in such a situation. It is, however, the proper way of calculating for fibre failure. Using the right<br />
method may be more critical in more complicated structures.<br />

6.7 Fibre dominated ply failure due to static long term loads (ref. Sec.6 [10])<br />
6.7.1 The analysis method is the same as for the gas vessel in [5.4].<br />
6.7.2 The stress level corresponding to a characteristic life of 125 years is 155 MPa according to [5.4.5]. This<br />
value should be reduced by 10% due to the possible presence of water, see App.F ([F.5]). Therefore:<br />

Guidance note:<br />
The strain level for a laminate without cracks is used for the applied strain. This value represents the actual condition<br />
of the laminate and should be used when applying the design criterion.<br />

6.7.3 Stress rupture data do not have to be confirmed by testing if the factor g Rd can be multiplied by 20 (see<br />
[5.4] and Sec.6 [10.4.10]). In this case the strain for a life of 125 x 20 = 2500 years should be found. In this<br />
