Aerodynamic high-pressure hydrogen CFRP vessels with Increased storage energy density for green aviation: Novel design and dimensioning method

Research output: Contribution to book/Conference proceedings/Anthology/ReportConference contributionContributed

Abstract

In this paper a new design and dimensioning approach for rotationally symmetric design space adapted high-pressure hydrogen carbon fibre reinforces polymer (CFRP) vessels is presented. The introduced method allows the design of an isotensoid laminate by calculating the required laminate architecture. This novel method is applied to an aerodynamic pressure vessel. The isotensoid stress state is validated by numerical means. Based on this structural-mechanical design, requirements for the to be modified manufacturing process are derived. By modifying the laminate structure to be manufacturable by means of wet winding technology, it is possible to implement non-cylindrical aerodynamically shaped pressure tanks with increased volumetric storage density and thus contribute to the transformation of aviation.
