Design, Development and Qualification of High Performance Load Sharing Composite Pressure Vessel for Aircraft Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

Load sharing metal lined composite pressure vessel(COPV) enables significant safety and reliability over those vessels with non-load-sharing metallic or non-metallic liners, The key technical challenge in developing these vessels will be to calculate the optimized liner thickness and liner elastic strain. This paper presents techniques developed at Lanzhou Institute of Physics(LIP) for the design of elastically operating metal liner COPV in terms of NET theory which modified by LIP. Five metal materials are discussed and analytical techniques for determining liner thickness are presented, selection of materials for maximizing performance and minimizing weight is discussed. L490A-COPV development is introduced, performance factor is improved from 23 Km to 29.5Km.
