COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SOLID AND MULTILAYERED COMPOSITE PRESSURE VESSEL

Abstract

A pressure vessel designed to work under a high internal pressure condition, so selecting material and the vessel's design are the most crucial parts. This paper compares the conventional (solid) pressure vessel made of a steel s515-gr70 and composite material pressure vessel made of epoxy carbon. The static deformation and von-mises stress for a pressure vessel were calculated and compared with composite and multi-layered composite material. The main objective of this paper is to compare the conventional (solid) pressure vessel with composite material pressure vessel and multi-layered composite pressure vessel and find out the best suitable material and design for the pressure vessel. To reduce the stress on the object, we are designing the multilayer vessel and calculating the deformation and stress-induced in the vessel. All these values compare with all other material combinations and conclude which composite is the most suitable and efficient pressure vessel.
