Design and Analysis of Filament Wound Toroidal Pressure Vessel

Abstract

The main objective of this investigation is to study and compare experimentally the deformations, stresses, buckling load multipliers, frequency values for Conventional Toroidal Pressure vessel and Filament wound Pressure Vessel used to store CNG. The Toroidal Pressure vessel and Filament wound Pressure Vessel are modeled in 3D modeling software Creo 2.0. Theoretical calculations and analysis is also carried to determine stress and displacement values for toroidal pressure vessel. Static, Buckling and Modal analyses are performed on Toroidal Pressure vessel and Filament wound Pressure Vessel and the results were compared. The analysis is done in Ansys.
