Study on the Structural Safety Evaluation for Pressure Vessel of the CNG Vehicle Using F.E.M.

Article Preview

Abstract:

CNG vehicles have to be equipped with a safe and reliable storage tank, such as composite pressure vessels, since the failure of the CNG storage tank induces fatal damages to passengers. In this research, the cause of vessel facture is investigated through formal inspection and engineering test procedures. Specifically, the composite pressure vessel design will be validated using the finite element method. In order to validate values of the optimal design variables in accordance with standard of the high pressure gas safety management, we used safety probability such as Von-Mises yield criterion, Tsai-Hill theory and stress ratio.
