Toroidal Shells

The paper outlines the prospects for the use of composite toroidal high-pressure cylinders for the breathing apparatus of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, fire brigades, industrial workers, which are more ergonomic in comparison with their cylindrical counterparts. Relying on the analytical solution of the equilibrium equations, we determined the shape of the cross-section of toroidal shells reinforced along the meridians and representing intersecting loop-like curves that form an infinitely long corrugated pipe. The study introduces a solution for a toroidal composite pressure vessel formed by the intersection of the upper and lower branches of the shell, reinforced along the meridians, and a profiled ring layer of filaments installed at the point of their intersection. The parameters of the toroidal uniformly stressed pressure vessel shell made by ring and meridian filament winding are calculated.

Abstract As energy crisis and environment pollution all around the world threaten the widespread use of fossil fuels, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles are explored as an alternative to the conventional gasoline powered vehicles. Because of the limited space available for the car, the composite pressure vessel (Type II) has been applied to the CNG vehicles to reach large capacity and weight lightening vehicles. High pressure vessel (Type II) is composed of a composite layer and a metal liner. The metal liner is formed by the deep drawing and ironing (D.D.I.) process, which is a complex process of deep drawing and ironing. The cylinder part is reinforced by composite layer wrapped through the filament winding process and is bonded to the liner by the curing process. In this study, an integrated design method was presented by establishing the techniques for FE analysis of entire processes (D.D.I., filament winding and curing processes) to manufacture the CNG composite pressure vessel (Type II). Dimensions of the dies and the punches of the 1st (cup drawing), 2nd (redrawing-ironing 1-ironing 2) and 3rd (redrawing-ironing) stages were calculated theoretically, and shape of tractrix die to be satisfied with the minimum forming load was suggested for life improvement and manufacturing costs in the D.D.I. process. Thickness of the composite material was determined in the filament winding process, finally, conditions of the curing process (number of heating stage, curing temperature, heating rate and time) were proposed to reinforce adhesive strength between the composite layers.

We report on compressional- and shear-wave-speed measurements made on compacted polycrystalline sI methane and sII methane–ethane hydrate. The gas hydrate samples are synthesized directly in the measurement apparatus by warming granulated ice to 17°C in the presence of a clathrate-forming gas at high pressure (methane for sI, 90.2% methane, 9.8% ethane for sII). Porosity is eliminated after hydrate synthesis by compacting the sample in the synthesis pressure vessel between a hydraulic ram and a fixed end-plug, both containing shear-wave transducers. Wave-speed measurements are made between –20 and 15°C and 0 to 105 MPa applied piston pressure. PACS No.: 61.60Lj

Composite Pressure Vessel

In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This closed-form solution was implemented in a computer program, and analytical results were compared to finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. In order to predict through-thickness stresses accurately, three-dimensional finite element meshes were used in the FEA since shell meshes can only be used to predict in-plane strength. Three-dimensional FEA results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results. Finally, using the proposed analytical approach, we evaluated structural damage and failure conditions of the composite pressure vessel using the Tsai–Wu failure criteria and predicted a maximum burst pressure.

Pressure equipment in refinery and petrochemical industries in Japan has been getting old, mostly more than 30 years in operation. Currently, the Japanese regulations for pressure equipment in service are the same as those in existence during the fabrication of the pressure equipment. Accordingly, there is an immediate need for an up to date more advanced “Fitness For Service” (FFS) evaluation requirements for pressure equipment. In order to introduce the latest FFS methodologies to Japanese industries, the High Pressure Institute of Japan (HPI) has organized two task groups. One is a working group for development of a maintenance standard for non-nuclear industries. Its prescribed code “Assessment procedure for crack-like flaws in pressure equipment” is for conducting quantitative safety evaluations of flaws detected in common pressure equipment such as pressure vessels, piping, storage tanks. The other is a special task group to study of API RP579 from its drafting stage as a member of TG579. The FFS Handbook, especially for refinery and petrochemical industries, has been developed based on API RP579 with several modifications to meet Japanese pressure vessel regulations on April 2001. [1] It is expected that both the Standard and FFS handbook will be used as an exemplified standard with Japanese regulations for practical maintenance. This paper presents concepts of “Assessment procedure for crack-like flaws in pressure equipment” HPIS Z101, 2001 [2].
