| Abstract | Advantages of and design requirements for a load-bearing metal shell with an overwrapped glass-filament shell for high-pressure-fluid storage at 75 to -423 deg F were investigated analytically and experimentally. Proper design permits utilization of the maximum load-bearing capabilities of both shells and makes possible tanks of significantly lighter weight than the best cylindrical and spherical homogeneous metal pressure vessels. Glass-fiber-reinforced metal tanks were fabricated and tested; they successfully met design objectives in cyclic fatigue, creep, and burst tests in the 75 t o -423 deg F range, and should be considered for application to aerospace systems. The testing (1) confirmed the results of a parametric study of the vessels, (2) revealed that no degradation in tank strength resulted from cyclic fatigue and sustained-loading tests at 75, -320, and -423 deg F, and (3) established that vessel strength increased about 25% at cryogenic temperatures. |
