Strength and fatigue study of on-board type III cryo-compressed hydrogen storage cylinder.

Due to its better energy storage density and lower costs for storage, cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) storage provides a wide range of research potential. Based on the grid theory, The type III CcH2 storage cylinder's layup scheme is created using the working environment for on-board hydrogen storage. The failure of the composite layer of gas cylinders was determined using the maximum stress criterion, and hydrodynamic bursting tests on small-volume gas cylinders were utilized to confirm that the design method was appropriate. The innermost layer of the ring winding is where the largest fiber stress is found, according to simulation studies. The load-bearing capacity of the cylinder is improved and can reach 115.1 MPa with layers in the order of [ 90 / ± 11.8 / 90 ]. The equivalent stress and fiber stress ratio of the cylinder continuously drop as the autofrettage pressure rises, while the cylinder's fatigue life gradually lengthens. • A program for designing hydrogen storage cylinders under cryo-compressed situation. • Stress analysis of each component of the cryogenic hydrogen storage cylinder. B • Urst failure of hydrogen storage cylinders and experimental validation. • Layup order's impact on the durability of cryogenic hydrogen storage cylinders. • Autofrettage pressure's impact on hydrogen storage cylinder fatigue performance.
