Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7A Comprehensive Study on Burst Pressure Performance of Aluminum Liner for Hydrogen Storage Vessels(ASME, 2021) Kangal, Serkan; Sayı, Abdülmecit Harun; Ayakdaş, Ozan; Kartav, Osman; Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Aktaş, Engin; Yücetürk, Kutay; Tanoğlu, Metin; Kandemir, Sinan; Beylergil, BertanThis paper presents a comparative study on the burst pressure performance of aluminum (Al) liner for type-III composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). In the analysis, the vessels were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. In the analytical part of the study, the burst pressure of the cylindrical part was predicted based on the modified von Mises, Tresca, and average shear stress criterion (ASSC). In the numerical analysis, a finite element (FE) model was established in order to predict the behavior of the vessel as a function of increasing internal pressure and determine the final burst. The Al pressure vessels made of Al-6061-T6 alloy with a capacity of 5 L were designed. The manufacturing of the metallic vessels was purchased from a metal forming company. The experimental study was conducted by pressurizing the Al vessels until the burst failure occurred. The radial and axial strain behaviors were monitored at various locations on the vessels during loading. The results obtained through analytical, numerical, and experimental work were compared. The average experimental burst pressure of the vessels was found to be 279 bar. The experimental strain data were compared with the results of the FE analysis. The results indicated that the FE analysis and ASSC-based elastoplastic analytical approaches yielded the best predictions which are within 2.2% of the experimental burst failure values. It was also found that the elastic analysis underestimated the burst failure results; however, it was effective for determining the critical regions over the vessel structure. The strain behavior of the vessels obtained through experimental investigations was well correlated with those predicted through FE analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Single- and Multiobjective Optimizations of Dimensionally Stable Composites Using Genetic Algorithms(Springer, 2021) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Deveci, Hamza ArdaThe present study aims to design stacking sequences of dimensionally stable symmetric balanced laminated carbon/epoxy composites, with different numbers of layers, with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high elastic moduli. To avoid excessive interlaminar stresses in the composites, the contiguity constraint for plies is also taken into consideration. In the design process, both single- and multiobjective optimization approaches, including genetic algorithms, are utilized. Results showed that stacking sequences ensuring lower thermal expansion coefficients and higher elastic moduli than those of traditional laminate designs can be obtained.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 32Development and Analysis of Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels for Hydrogen Storage(SAGE Publications, 2021) Kartav, Osman; Kangal, Serkan; Yücetürk, Kutay; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin; Artem, Hatice SeçilIn this study, composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for high-pressure hydrogen storage were designed, modeled by finite element (FE) method, manufactured by filament winding technique and tested for burst pressure. Aluminum 6061-T6 was selected as a metallic liner material. Epoxy impregnated carbon filaments were overwrapped over the liner with a winding angle of +/- 14 degrees to obtain fully overwrapped composite reinforced vessels with non-identical front and back dome layers. The COPVs were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. During loading, deformation of the vessels was measured locally with strain gauges. The mechanical performances of COPVs designed with various number of helical, hoop and doily layers were investigated by both experimental and numerical methods. In numerical method, FE analysis containing a simple progressive damage model available in ANSYS software package for the composite section was performed. The results revealed that the FE model provides a good correlation as compared to experimental strain results for the developed COPVs. The burst pressure test results showed that integration of doily layers to the filament winding process resulted with an improvement of the COPVs performance.Conference Object Problem of Cracked Infinite Hollow Cylinder With Two Rigid Inclusions(Civil-Comp Press, 2000) Artem, Hatice Seçil; Geçit, Mehmet RuşenThis paper is concerned with the fracture of an axisymmetric hollow cylindrical bar containing rigid inclusions. The cylinder is under the action of uniformly distributed axial tension applied at infinity. The hollow cylinder contains a ring-shaped crack at the symmetry plane whose surfaces are free of tractions and two ring-shaped rigid inclusions with negligible thickness symmetrically located on both sides of the crack. Geometry and the loading is symmetric about z-axis. Along the rigid inclusions displacements are constant and continuous whereas stresses have jumps. The inner and the outer surfaces of the cylinder are free of tractions It is assumed that the material of the cylinder is linearly elastic and isotropic. The mixed boundary conditions of the problem lead the analysis to a system of three singular integral equations for crack surface displacement derivative and normal and shear stress jumps on rigid inclusions. These integral equations are solved numerically and the stress intensity factors at the edges of the crack and at the edges of the inclusions are calculated. Results are presented in graphical form.
