지구 온난화의 원인이 되는 이산화탄소를 저감하며 유해한 배기가스를 배출하지 않는 수소연료전지자동차(FCV)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한국가스안전공사에서 현재 구축하고 있는 평가장비는 이러한 수소연료전지자동차용으로 사용되는 고압용기의 수압반복시험 및 밸브류로 구성된 고압수소저장시스템의 단품 및 시스템 평가를 통한 안전신뢰성 검증을 목적으로 하고 있다. 현재 수소연료전지자동차는 차량이나 부품의 시험 방법에 대한 통일된 기준/표준/시험법이 아직 완전하게 정비되어 있지 않고, 시장에서의 도입 제도, 기준 등이 만들어지고 있는 현실이다. 또한 연료로 수소를 사용하는 도입단계에 있기 때문에, 수소용기가 반복압력변동에 따라 어떤 거동을 나타내는지에 대한 실험관련 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 따라서 수소연료전지자동차용 고압수소저장시스템에 대한 내구성, 안전성 확보를 위하여 수소연료전지자동차에서 중요한 부품인 용기에 대한 반복피로시험이 필요하다. 특히 복합재 용기 분야에서 Type3용기에 대한 높은 안전성과 내구성이 보고되고 있지만 실질적으로 얼마나 다른 용기에 비해 높은 성능을 가지고 있는지 국내에서는 체계적으로 검증된바 없다. 따라서 구축된 수압반복 장비를 이용하여 Type3 용기에 대한 수압반복시험을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 수소용기의 거동을 확인하고자 한다.

라이너를 포함한 필라멘트 와인딩 복합재 압력용기의 성능향상을 위한 효율적인 구조최적 설계방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 온도효과가 고려된 비선형 유한요소법을 이용하여 각 층에서의 응력해석과 파손해석을 수행하였다. 또한 설계변수로 라이너의 두께와 헬리컬 적층두께, 실린더를 따라 변하는 직각 적층두께를 설정하였다. 모든 설계변수들에 대한 강도비 민감도를 유도하였으며 헬리컬 적층두께에 대한 강도비 민감도를 유지하기 위해 측지 등장력 돔설계 방법을 고려하였다. 구조 최적설계결과, 실린더를 따라 직각 적층두께를 최적으로 분포시켜 강성을 효과적으로 배열하였으므로 적층두께를 일정하게 고려한 경우보다 더 경량화 시킬 수 있었다.

In this study, we solved the human hazard problem of aluminum liner by applying plastic PET liner which is widely used as a material for food and beverage containers in the market. In order to reinforce dome area by using low strength / high elongation plastic liner, The aluminum boss was covered on the plastic liner surface. In order to predict the performance of the developed product, the structural analysis was carried out by applying the three - dimensional laminated solid element, and the soundness of the product was verified through the prototype performance test.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) composite vessels for vehicles have been generally made of 34CrMo4 for a inner liner part and E-glass/epoxy for a composite layer part. But, there is a problem of material loss of CNG composite vessels used in vehicles due to the design of excessive thickness of the liner. And, light weight of the CNG composite vessel is required for improving fuel efficiency. In this study, optimal design for CNG composite pressure vessel was performed by using basalt fiber, which is the environment-friendly material having a good mechanical strength. The optimal thickness of each part (inner liner and composite layer) was determined by theoretical analysis and FEA for satisfying structural safety and lightweight of the vessel. Also, for improving fatigue life, optimal autofrettage pressure was derived from FEA results.

In this study, we have developed a composite pressure vessel that is compact and can store refrigerant at high pressure to increase the refrigerant volume. The composite pressure vessel is made of aluminum-based duralumin, which has high rigidity and excellent elongation in the inner liner, considering the characteristics of products in the aerospace and defense industry, where the safety of the applied product is considered as a priority. High strength carbon fiber was applied to the outside. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed product, burst test and cycling test were carried out. In burst test, an excellent safety margin equivalent to 2.7 times the operating pressure was obtained. In cycling test, a stable failure mode in which 'pre-burst leak' occurs is proved and the soundness of the product is proved.

Low-velocity impact damage of a thick pressure vessel by composite materials was studied using the modified Herzian contact radius theory. Impactors of various masses and various tup shapes were dropped freely in the range of 20m to 200mm height. With acceleration gage and strain gage installed on the impactor, impact force and acceleration and Contact radius were measured. After a test, the samples were radiographed to scan the state of damage. Compared with hemispherical tup of 12.7mm diameter, the contact radius of hemispherical tup of 25.4mm diameter was bigger. And the experimental data and the theoretical data was different due to the mechanical properties difference. The acceleration value was changed linearly according to the height.

This paper presents a stress safety of a composite pressure cylinder for a hydrogen gas vehicle. The composite pressure cylinder in which is composed of an aluminum liner and carbon fiber wound layers contains 104 liter hydrogen gas, and is compressed by a filling pressure of 70 MPa. The FEM computed results are analyzed based on the US DOT-CFFC basic requirement for a hydrogen gas cylinder and KS B ISO specification. The FEM results indicate that the stress, 255.2 MPa of an aluminum liner is sufficiently low compared with that of 272 MPa, which is 95% level of a yield stress for aluminum. Also, the composite layers in which are wound on the surface of an aluminum cylinder are safe because the stress ratios from 3.46 to 3.57 in hoop and helical directions are above 2.4 for a minimum safety level. The proposed composite pressure cylinder wound by carbon fibers is useful for 70 MPa hydrogen gas vehicles.

To increase the performance of thick-walled cylinders recently their length is continually enlarged. For that reason it is important to reduce weight of the thick-walled cylinders. In this paper the FE models to predict and estimate effects on the composite tapes were created with MSC.Nastran/Patran v.2005. First of all a autofrettage method was applied to the 2D model of the AISI4340 cylinder reduced the thick. And then the comparison of the numerical results with analysis results showed and verified by using T300/5208, IM7/PETI5, IM7/8552 tapes. Those are predicted to the effects of the angle of the composite tapes and elastic modulus according to the composite properties.

Low-temperature characteristics according to internal temperature conditions during rotational molding of Type 4 pressure vessel liners were studied in this paper. Since rotational molding has a sensitive effect on the formability of the liner depending on the temperature conditions, the temperature conditions for the polyamide used should be accurately set. The structural changes of polyamide as the liner material was analyzed the surface by atomic force microscope (AFM), and the crystallinity measured with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is used to evaluate the change of the mechanical strength value at low temperature. In addition, the formability of the liner was confirmed by observation of the yellow index inside the liner. As a result, as the melting range of the internal temperature becomes wider, the yellow index shows a lower value, and the elongation and impact characteristics at low temperatures are improved. It was also confirmed that the structure of the polyamide was uniform and the crystallinity was high by AFM and DSC. These experimental results contribute to the improvement of characteristics at low temperatures due to changes in temperature conditions during rotational molding.
