Abstract The optimization is performed to reduce the mass of CNG pressure vessel reinforced with composite materials in the hoop direction. An axisymmetric shell element which takes into account the layered liner and hoop composite materials is thus developed and incorporated into a program Axicom. The accuracy of the program is then verified using the 4 noded element in ANSYS. Three different cases of optimization are then performed using the Axicom: (1) uniform hoop thickness, (2) varying hoop thickness, and (3) varying the ply angles and accordingly the thickness. Compared with a traditional method, cases (2) and (3) were found to be very effective in reducing the thickness and cost of the hoop composite materials by about 80% without sacrificing the safety factors.

Due to the advantageous mechanical properties of the fiber reinforced polymeric plastics(FRP), their application in the construction industries is ever increasing trend, as a substitute of structural steel which is highly vulnerable under hazardous environmental conditions (i.e., corrosion, humidity, etc.). In this study, hybrid FRP-concrete composite pile (HCFFT) connection is suggested. The HCFFT is consisted of pultruded FRP unit module, filament wound FRP which is in the outside of mandrel composed of circular shaped assembly of pultruded FRP unit modules, and concrete which is casted inside of the circular tube shaped hybrid FRP pile. Therefore, pultruded FRP can increase the flexural load carrying capacity, filament wound FRP and concrete filled inside can increase axial load carrying capacity. In the study, connection capacity of HCFFT(small and mid size) is investigated throughout experiments and finite element method. From the results of experiments, we suggested the connection methods about HCFFT pile connection.

One area in which composites have been used rather extensively is for fabricating pressure vessel. These structures can be readily manufactured by filament winding, which is, as far as composite fabrication techniques are concerned, a relatively inexpensive method for producing composite structures. Unfortunately, the higher strength material and fabrication costs are not the only disadvantages of fiber-reinforced polymer composites when they are compared to metals. Additionally, these materials tend to exhibit brittle behavior. This is of particular concern when they are subjected to a low-velocity impact during routine handling a significant amount of structural damage can be introduced into the composites. The goals of this paper are to understand the impact damage behavior and identify the effect of surface coating materials on impact resistance in filament wound composite pressure vessels. For these, a series of low velocity impact tests was performed on specimens cutting from the full scale pressure vessel by the instrumented impact testing machine. The specimens are classified into two types with and without surface protective material. The visualization for impact damage is made by metallurgical microscope. Based on the impact force history and damage, the resistance parameters were employed and its validity in identifying the damage resistance of pressure vessel was reviewed. As the results, the impact resistance of the filament wound composites and its dependency on the protective material were evaluated quantitatively.

In this paper, we present a part of results to develop new type hybrid FRP-concrete composite pile (i.e., concrete filled fiber reinforced plastic circular tubes, hybrid CFFT, HCFFT). The purpose of this paper is to evaluate compressive loading capacity through compressive strength test. Before compressive strength test of HCFFT, we investigated mechanical properties of pultruded fiber reinforced plastic (PFRP) and filament winding fiber reinforced plastic (FFRP). For estimating the compressive strength of HCFFT, uni-axial compression strength tests of HCFFT compression members were conducted. The test variables are compressive strengths of concrete and thickness of FFRP. In addition, uni-axial compression strength tests of concrete filled fiber reinforced plastic circular tube (CFFT) except PFRP members were conducted. The test variable in the test is thickness of FFRP. From the test result, the compressive strength of the HCFFT in larger than compressive strength of CFFT as much as 47%. It can be observed that the uni-axial compressive strength of the HCFFT increased if the concrete strength and the thickness of exterior filament winding FRP tube increased. In addition, the finite element analysis result is compared with the experimental result. The difference between the experimental and FEM results is in the range of 0.14% to 17.95%.

Inner part of FRP specimen was made unidirectionally by pultrusion method and outer part of FRP was made by filament winding method to study the effect of fiber orientatons on the strength of FRP. The strength of bending and compression was simulated and evaluated. The results of simulated strength and evaluated strength were different greately each other. The stress which affect the feature of FRP was simulated to investigate the difference of the results between simulation and evaluation Shear stresses were investigated to the main stress to affect the fracture of FRP.

FRP has been used much for core materials of insulator. FRP consists of fiber and plastics(resin and binder). The fiber contributes strength to FRP. The fiber orientation in FRP has a great effect on the strength of FRP because the strength of FRP mainly depends on the strength of fiber. The direction of applied stress of FRP is different from the kinds of insulators. In this study, inner part of FRP rod was made unidirectionally by pultrusion method and outer part of FRP rod was made by filament winding method. Compressive strength and stress of FRP rods were simulated according to the winding orientation of glass fiber. Simulated value and real evaluated compressive strength were compared each other.

In this study mechanical and environment ability of FRP pole for a distribution line about high strength and good insulation properties. The basic filament winding process creates a helical winding pattern. In mechanical analysis of splice with mechanical fastened joint it is important to evaluate a critical load of faster having maximum stress. It is also present a result of several examples to compare this with analytical one. On repair design this finite element method will be used as basis. The influence of environmental factors, such as elevated temperatures, high humidity, and corrosive fluids, and ultraviolet(UV) rays, upon the performance of polymeric matrix composite is of concern in many applications.

The drop impact analysis was carried out on Type 4 pressure containers, and the degree of damage to the falling environment was predicted and determined using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) techniques. The purpose of the design and the optimization process of the winding pattern of the pressure vessel of the composite material is to verify the safety of the container in actual use. Finally, an interpretation process that can be implemented in accordance with domestic test standards can be established to reduce the cost of testing and containers through pre-test interpretation. The research on the fall analysis of pressure vessels of composite materials was conducted using Abaqus, and optimization was conducted using ISIGHT. As a result, the safety of composite pressure vessels in the falling environment was verified.

A new composite manufacturing technique which combines winding and curing together is studied and analyzed. This method is especially suited to the manufacture of thick composite materials in which thermal spiking is a common problem. An experimental apparatus was designed and built for use with a filament winder to continuously cure a thick composite cylinder. A hoop-wound composite cylinder with 152 mm wall thickness was manufactured and embedded thermocouples and strain gages were monitored throughout the cure process. The experimental data were compared with analytical results.
