Analysis of a hybrid composite tank under pressure

Abstract

In this work, the analysis of a hybrid composite tank of storage of hydrogen is presented. This solution made of a carbon/epoxy envelope coated on a metal liner and an intermetallic material is proposed. Each layer of the laminate is assumed to be anisotropic, and liner and intermetallic were assumed to be isotropic. This work is concerned with the study of the elastic behaviour of this solution. Based on the three-dimensional (3-D) elasticity, an exact solution for the stresses, strain and displacement is presented. The effect of stacking sequences on the behaviour of hybride solution is presented.
