“…Additionally, the AE technique is hereby utilized for damage monitoring during pressurization. It is shown throughout the hydrostatic pressure test that damage is avoided at the sphere connecting areas (junctions) by introducing a minimum required number of hoop rings (as derived in [32]). By utilizing the AE technique it is shown that first damage onset and global failure occurs close to the hollow center tube at the composite overwrap in a leak-before-burst sequence (which verifies the FE findings of [32]).…”

“…If the metal is replaced by lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber resin matrix composite, the weight reduction of the tank can be 20–40%, which greatly improves the efficiency of the spacecraft. 1 –4 However, the composite is normally incompatible with liquid oxygen due to oxidation. The term “incompatible with liquid oxygen” has been used to describe the occurrence of combustion or explosion when the composite in liquid oxygen is subjected to external loads such as vibration, friction, and impact.…”

A liquid oxygen-compatible epoxy resin is successfully prepared by changing the epoxy/amine equivalent ratio (SR) of a phosphorus-containing epoxy resin. The liquid oxygen impact test results showed that the modified resin was compatible with liquid oxygen only when the SR was 0.8. The mechanical properties at 90 K showed that the strain energy and impact toughness reached the maximum when the SR was 0.8, which suggested that the reduced rigidity might be beneficial to improve the liquid oxygen compatibility of the polymer. The thermomechanical and thermal results showed that the cross-linking density and thermal stability was proportional to SR. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the P=O group in the resin decomposed into phosphoric oxidative solids and P–N intermediates to inhibit the resin from decomposing and contacting with liquid oxygen during impact. Overall, this study provides a new idea for the design of liquid oxygen-compatible epoxy resin.

Low‐thickness/diameter cylindrical storage pressure vessels with composite overwrapping fail at diverse internal and external pressure circumstances, causing several faults that must be included and minimized to retain effectiveness and working capability. The bursting effect is caused by hoop (internal) stresses and can be reduced by composite lamination alignment and internal pressure resistance. Pressure vessel bursting faults vary with internal tensions and can induce fiber reinforced polymer fracture and composite cylinder failure under many failure criteria. Micro‐mechanical nondestructive testing uses independent failure criteria associated to modes like Tsai‐Wu, Tsai‐Hill, Azzi‐Tsai, Hoffman, and Chamis. Micro‐cracking of composite layers generates delamination in composite pressure vessels, causing porosity. Pressure vessel micro‐cracking was assessed using classical laminate theory. Composite material strain‐rate failures in mobile applications like hydrogen storage cars with composite pressure vessels are examined due to their widespread use. Finally, Polar, Helical, and Hoop winding sequences are consistently focused to optimize the design and analyze the parameters for the overall impact of different failure aspects as bursting behavior in cylindrical composite pressure vessels. Type‐IV composite pressure vessels have the best results due to their lightest weight but complexity of winding over the polar head geodesic and non‐geodesic curvatures overwrapped carbon include all these internal composite and liner geometry faults and optimize them to reduce failure issues to fix composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV's) design. Liner‐less composite pressure vessels (Type‐V) need more design and production study for high‐pressure and temperature applications.Highlights Failure deals with the internal and external pressures exerted on composite pressure vessels. Failures like bursting of the pressure vessel, due to like micro‐cracking, delamination's and strain‐rate failures of composites. Failures detection through NDT inspection for polymer composite materials for composite pressure vessels. (COPV) perfect lamina sequence, liner materials and fiber winding angles must be considered for designing state of the art liner‐less Type‐V pressure vessels. Independent Failure criteria like (Tsai‐Wu & Hashin).
