Abstract
Abstract: Composite pressure vessels are an important type of high-pressure containers that are widely used in aerospace industries. The pressure vessels develop hoop stresses that are twice the longitudinal stresses. CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composite materials with their higher specific strength and characteristics will result in reduction of weight of the structure when compared with isotropic materials like steel. The present work is aimed in understanding the behaviour of the Composite Pressure Vessel with variation of internal pressure. In this connection, a pressure vessel using CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is fabricated which can hold liquids or gases under pressure and is tested at various pressures. The FEA tool ANSYS 14.5 is used to determine better fiber angle required for liquid storage, when the conventional low carbon steel cylinder is replaced with CFRP Pressure Vessel.
