    Development 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 Seçil
    In 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.

    Investigation of Interlayer Hybridization Effect on Burst Pressure Performance of Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels With Load-Sharing Metallic Liner
    (SAGE Publications, 2020) Kangal, Serkan; Kartav, Osman; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    In this study, multi-layered composite overwrapped pressure vessels for high-pressure gaseous storage were designed, modeled by finite element method and manufactured by filament winding technique. 34CrMo4 steel was selected as a load-sharing metallic liner. Glass and carbon filaments were overwrapped on the liner with a winding angle of [+/- 11 degrees/90 degrees(2)](3) to obtain fully overwrapped composite reinforced vessel with non-identical front and back dome endings. The vessels were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. The mechanical performances of pressure vessels, (i) fully overwrapped with glass fibers and (ii) with additional two carbon hoop layers on the cylindrical section, were investigated by both experimental and numerical approaches. In numerical approaches, finite element analysis was performed featuring a simple progressive damage model available in ANSYS software package for the composite section. The metal liner was modeled as elastic-plastic material. The results reveal that the finite element model provides a good correlation between experimental and numerical strain results for the vessels, together with the indication of the positive effect on radial deformation of the COPVs due to the composite interlayer hybridization. The constructed model was also able to predict experimental burst pressures within a range of 8%. However, the experimental and finite element analysis results showed that hybridization of hoop layers did not have any significant impact on the burst pressure performance of the vessels. This finding was attributed to the change of load-sharing capacity of composite layers due to the stiffness difference of carbon and glass fibers.

    On the Estimation and Optimization Capabilities of the Fatigue Life Prediction Models in Composite Laminates
    (SAGE Publications, 2018) Deveci, Hamza Arda; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    In this study, the estimation and optimization capabilities of the multiaxial fatigue life prediction models, namely, Failure Tensor Polynomial in Fatigue, Fawaz-Ellyin, Sims-Brogdon and Shokrieh-Taheri are investigated comparatively. Fatigue life predictions are obtained for multidirectional graphite/epoxy, glass/epoxy, carbon/epoxy and carbon/PEEK composite laminate data taken from the literature. The prediction study shows that the models can predict the fatigue behavior of the multidirectional laminates at different degrees of proximity. In the optimization, a hybrid algorithm combining particle swarm algorithm and generalized pattern search algorithm is used to search the optimum stacking sequence designs of the laminated composites for maximum fatigue life. The hybrid algorithm shows superior performance in terms of computational time and finding improved global optima compared to the best results presented in the literature. After the capability of the models and the reliability of the algorithm are revealed, several lay-up design problems involving different cyclic loading scenarios are solved. The results indicate that the reliability of the optimization may considerably change according to the used model even if the model may yield reasonable prediction results.

    Design of Dimensionally Stable Composites Using Efficient Global Optimization Method
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Aydın, Levent; Aydın, Olgun; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Mert, Ali
    Dimensionally stable material design is an important issue for space structures such as space laser communication systems, telescopes, and satellites. Suitably designed composite materials for this purpose can meet the functional and structural requirements. In this paper, it is aimed to design the dimensionally stable laminated composites by using efficient global optimization method. For this purpose, the composite plate optimization problems have been solved for high stiffness and low coefficients of thermal and moisture expansion. Some of the results based on efficient global optimization solution have been verified by genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, and generalized pattern search solutions from the previous studies. The proposed optimization algorithm is also validated experimentally. After completing the design and optimization process, failure analysis of the optimized composites has been performed based on Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hoffman, and Hashin-Rotem criteria.

    Buckling Optimization of Composite Laminates Using a Hybrid Algorithm Under Puck Failure Criterion Constraint
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Deveci, Hamza Arda; Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    In this study, an optimization procedure is proposed to find the optimum stacking sequence designs of laminated composite plates in different fiber angle domains for maximum buckling resistance. A hybrid algorithm combining genetic algorithm and trust region reflective algorithm is used in the optimization to obtain higher performance and improve the quality of solutions. As a novelty, Puck fiber and inter-fiber failure criteria are directly implemented to the optimization problems as nonlinear function constraints, which have allowed more consistent and feasible results. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is demonstrated by comparing with the individual performances of genetic and trust region reflective algorithms via test problems from the literature. Also, a study is performed to exhibit the effectiveness of the selected failure criterion as constraint among the other common criteria. The proposed procedure is used to solve many problems including various design considerations. The results indicate that reliable stacking sequence designs can be achieved in specific configurations even for the composite plates subjected to superior buckling loads when Puck physically based (3D) failure theory is considered as a first ply failure constraint in the buckling optimization.

    Comparison of Stochastic Search Optimization Algorithms for the Laminated Composites Under Mechanical and Hygrothermal Loadings
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2011) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    The aim of the present study is to design the stacking sequence of the laminated composites that have low coefficient of thermal expansion and high elastic moduli. In design process, multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization of the carbon fiber laminated composite plates is verified by single objective optimization approach using three different stochastic optimization methods: genetic algorithm, generalized pattern search, and simulated annealing. However, both the multi- and single-objective approaches to laminate optimization have been used by considerably few authors. Simplified micromechanics equations, classical lamination theory, and MATLAB Symbolic Math toolbox are used to obtain the fitness functions of the optimization problems. Stress distributions of the optimized composites are presented through the thickness of the laminates subjected to mechanical, thermal, and hygral loadings.
