“…Hydrogen combustion cells have been considered for this transition to a greener mobility system and alternative clean power. [ 1 ] However, to successfully apply this technology in the market, an attractive cost‐performance ratio must be given. At the same time, the concept of hydrogen mobility poses a challenge for the design of lightweight pressure vessels to safely store hydrogen.…”

“…To this extent, composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) provide a sustainable solution with great advantages in terms of weight reduction. [ 1,2 ] Nevertheless, there is still need for further development in order to achieve a higher level of technological readiness. [ 1 ] The manufacture of COPV combines a series of circumferential windings (often termed hoop winding), as well as helical and dome windings (often called pole winding).…”

Wet filament winding has been established as the primary manufacturing process for overwrapped pressure vessels. However, the prediction of the mechanical performance of pressure vessels is still not sufficiently accurate, mostly due to process‐induced deviations within the laminate structure. In this work, we present an image processing algorithm (IPA‐Delfin) that enables the real‐time generation of a digital reconstruction based on the actual geometry and position of the placed roving. A Type‐IV pressure vessel is analyzed under real manufacturing conditions. Our approach allows the measurement of the overlapping degree of roving within the laminate and the prediction of gaps. The results show that the fiber‐band width and the overlapping area vary significantly when the roving is placed directly on the vessel's polymer liner. A more constant and uniform fiber‐band width and overlapping area were observed when the filament winding took place on the previously placed roving. Hence, the IPA‐Delfin can be potentially used for the generation of digital twins of composite overwrapped pressure vessels.

“…Therefore, new manufacturing techniques are being studied, as well as different types of materials with a better strength-to-weight ratio. Additive manufacturing has found here an opportunity with the filament winding technique with composite materials [ 2 , 3 , 4 ], such as carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), glass-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) or aramid-fiber-reinforced polymers (AFRPs), which have high strength and a much lower weight than bottles made of steel alloys [ 5 ].…”

Smartvessel is an innovative fire extinguisher prototype supported by new materials and IoT technology that seeks to improve the functionality and efficiency of conventional fire extinguishers. Storage containers for gases and liquids are essential for industrial activity as they enable higher energy density. The main contributions of this new prototype are (i) innovation in the use of new materials that provide lighter and more resistant extinguishers, both mechanically and against corrosion in aggressive environments. For this purpose, these characteristics are directly compared in vessels made of steel, aramid fiber and carbon fiber with the filament winding technique. (ii) The integration of sensors that allow its monitoring and provide the possibility of predictive maintenance. The prototype is tested and validated on a ship, where accessibility is complicated and critical. For this purpose, different data transmission parameters are defined, verifying that no data are lost. Finally, a noise study of these measurements is carried out to verify the quality of each data. Acceptable coverage values are achieved with very low read noise, on average less than 1%, and a weight reduction of 30% is obtained.

“…There were some differences between the actual shell composite dimensions and those modeled by WCM. A progressive damage method was used by Alam et al [ 23 ] to investigate the influence of winding angle, the number of layers, and the sequence of layers on the burst strength of composite pressure vessels. However, the method only compared the burst pressure values corresponding to different winding angles, numbers of layers, and sequences of layers without further research on its causes.…”

Traditional thickness-prediction methods underestimate the actual dome thickness at polar openings, leading to the inaccurate prediction of the load-bearing capacity of composite hydrogen storage vessels. A method of thickness prediction for the dome section of composite hydrogen storage vessels was proposed, which involved fiber slippage and tow redistribution. This method considered the blocking effect of the port on sliding fiber tows and introduced the thickness correlation to predict the dome thickness at polar openings. The arc length corresponding to the parallel circle radius was calculated, and then, the actual radius values corresponding to the bandwidth were obtained by the interpolation method. The predicted thickness values were compared with the actual measured thickness. The maximum relative error of the predicted thickness was 4.19%, and the mean absolute percentage error was 2.04%. The results show that the present method had a higher prediction accuracy. Eventually, this prediction method was used to perform progressive damage analysis on vessels. By comparing with the results of the cubic spline function method, the analysis results of the present method approached the actual case. This showed that the present method improved the accuracy of the design.
