“…Type V vessels have great potential to further increase storage efficiency in the transportation and aerospace industries but are still in development and present several design and production challenges to industrialise [18,19] and incorporate into the market. However, there are additional challenges for type V COPVs to be used in the storage of liquid cryogenic substances [20,21]. Cryogenic storage offers additional advantages because gases such as oxygen and methane can be stored as liquids, reducing the required volume and storage pressure for the same mass, but more difficulties arise because of the operation temperature.…”

A multidisciplinary design optimisation (MDO) study of a hybrid rocket launcher is presented, with a focus on quantifying the impact of using composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) as the oxidiser tank. The rocket hybrid propulsion system (RHPS) consists of a combination of solid fuel (paraffin) and liquid oxidiser (NOx). The oxidiser is conventionally stored in metallic vessels. Alternative design concepts involving composite-based pressure vessels are explored that could lead to significant improvements in the overall performance of the rocket. This design choice may potentially affect parameters such as total weight, thrust curve, and maximum altitude achieved. With this eventual impact in mind, structural considerations such as wall thickness for the COPV are integrated into an in-house MDO framework to conceptually optimise a hybrid rocket launcher.

“…As a result, the production method of CFRTPC was believed to have a wide range of applications across various industrial sectors, including automotive, aviation and medicine. The common production of CFRTPC includes pultrusion (Tian et al , 2023), fiber winding (Boon et al , 2021), hot pressing (van de Werken et al , 2021) and automated fiber placement (Air et al , 2023). These methods typically require substantial investments for procuring expensive equipment and molds, thereby making it a challenging endeavor for part fabrication.…”

Purpose This study aims to present an experimental approach to develop a high-strength 3D-printed recycled polymer composite reinforced with continuous metal fiber. Design/methodology/approach The continuous metal fiber composite was 3D printed using recycled and virgin acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-blended filament (RABS-B) in the ratio of 60:40 and postused continuous brass wire (CBW). The 3D printing was done using an in-nozzle impregnation technique using an FFF printer installed with a self-modified nozzle. The tensile and single-edge notch bend (SENB) test samples are fabricated to evaluate the tensile and fracture toughness properties compared with VABS and RABS-B samples. Findings The tensile and SENB tests revealed that RABS-B/CBW composite 3D printed with 0.7 mm layer spacing exhibited a notable improvement in Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength, elongation at maximum load and fracture toughness by 51.47%, 18.67% and 107.3% and 22.75% compared to VABS, respectively. Social implications This novel approach of integrating CBW with recycled thermoplastic represents a significant leap forward in material science, delivering superior strength and unlocking the potential for advanced, sustainable composites in demanding engineering fields. Originality/value Limited research has been conducted on the in-nozzle impregnation technique for 3D printing metal fiber-reinforced recycled thermoplastic composites. Adopting this method holds the potential to create durable and high-strength sustainable composites suitable for engineering applications, thereby diminishing dependence on virgin materials.

“…One of the most common manufacturing methods to obtain tubular geometries with composite materials is the manufacturing technique known as Roll Wrapping (RW) [ 40 ]. The testing and characterization methods for this manufacturing process have not been as widely developed compared to other types of composites and there are not global quality standards for the commissioning and failure prediction of this type of geometry [ [41] , [42] , [43] ].…”
