Semi-Geodesics-Based Dome Design for Filament Wound Composite Pressure Vessels

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we apply semi-geodesic trajectories to the creation of isotensoid domes for filament wound pressure vessels. The governing equations for the determination of the meridian shapes and related winding angle distributions of domes are derived using the netting analysis and the semi-geodesic winding law. The effects of the slippage coefficient on the geometry and fiber trajectories of the domes are respectively evaluated in terms of the resulting meridional curves and fiber angles. It is revealed that the semi-geodesic angles and the dome depth have an overall decrease with increasing the slippage coefficient. The results also demonstrate that the use of semi-geodesics significantly enlarge the design space for the geometry and adapted fiber trajectories of the domes. The present method can provide a significant reference for the design and production of the domes for semi-geodesically overwound pressure vessels.
