Filament-wound Composite Pressure Vessels (FCPV) have been used widely in the aerospace and commercial industries. Multi-type FCPVs have been applied to different mission scenes. In this paper, four types of domes (helical winding, helical winding ellipsoid, polar winding, polar winding ellipsoid) are studied based on a simplified parametric model, and a modified meridian computing method is employed for polar and helical winding domes after the inflection points. At last, four FCPV cases of different type of domes are calculated and discussed in detail. Results indicate that the parameters of the same winding pattern dome are similar, so it is suggested to use ellipsoid domes in prior for the convenience of fabrication and avoiding the inflection point at the meridian.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
