Abstract:
The article considers one of the possible mechanisms of loading the solidity of a
cylindrical metal composite high-pressure vessel (MC HPV). This mechanism
manifests itself as delamination of a thin-walled metal shell (liner) from a
more rigid composite shell causing local buckling. A similar effect can be
detected in the manufacturing process of MC HPV, when the composite shell is
formed by winding with tension a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic tape on the
liner. Pressure transfer from the composite shell to the liner is carried out by
the method of temperature analogy, that is, by cooling the composite shell,
thermally insulated from the liner. To solve the problem of externally confined
liner local buckling a software-based approach is proposed, which is based on
three points: the introduction of local technological deviations inherent in
actual structures, the determination of the general stress-strain state, and a
real-time deforming. The approach is implemented in the LS-DYNA software package
in a dynamic formulation using solid finite elements. In the MC HPV deformation
model, composite shell is considered to be elastic, multilayer, and liner-to be
elastoplastic, isotropic. The contact between the liner and the composite shell
is unilateral, normal; there are no tangent interactions. Technological
deviations are presented in the form of cutouts in the liner and the composite
shell on the cylindrical part of the vessel with the dimensions of permissible
defects.
