복합재 고압 용기는 우수한 기계적 강도를 유지하면서 경쟁적인 무게절감을 얻을 수 있는 복합재의 장점으로 인해 최근에 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 고압에서 발생하는 복합재의 기밀 문제(permeability)를 보완하기 위해 금속으로 덧대는 Type 3 형태의 구조로 많이 사용된다. 그러나 복잡한 기하학적 형상, 제조공정 변수 등으로 인해 차입 3 형태의 압력용기를 설계하는 데에는 많은 어려움이 뒤따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 변수들을 고려하는 준측지궤적 알고리즘(semi-geodesic algorithm)과 최적화를 위한 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 차입 3 복합재 압력용기의 GUI(graphic user interface) 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 연료 전지 자동차에 적용되는 350/700 바 수소저장용기에 대해 최적 설계를 수행하였다.

In this study, we have developed a composite pressure vessel that is compact and can store refrigerant at high pressure to increase the refrigerant volume. The composite pressure vessel is made of aluminum-based duralumin, which has high rigidity and excellent elongation in the inner liner, considering the characteristics of products in the aerospace and defense industry, where the safety of the applied product is considered as a priority. High strength carbon fiber was applied to the outside. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed product, burst test and cycling test were carried out. In burst test, an excellent safety margin equivalent to 2.7 times the operating pressure was obtained. In cycling test, a stable failure mode in which 'pre-burst leak' occurs is proved and the soundness of the product is proved.

This research aims to increase the reliability and reproducibility of the ambient cycling test by properly making corrections to the test procedure. The vessel (106 L) is initially filled with 70 L of water and horizontally placed on a balance. The pressure range inside the vessel varies from 2.5 to 25.9 MPa at the frequency of 6 cycles per minute. After reviewing the results, there was a temperature difference of approximately $10^{\circ}C$ between the air pocket and the water, and the upper part of the liner faced a repeated temperature change of $40^{\circ}C$. It is possible for the aluminum liner of the composite vessel to be damaged by such a sharp change in temperature. Additionally, as a result, no pass having anything to do with the purpose of the test would occur. Therefore, it is suggested that the air pocket be completely removed.

이 논문은 Type 4 압력용기 라이너의 회전 성형 시 내부온도 조건에 따른 저온 특성 평가에 관한 연구이다. 회전 성형의 경우 온도 조건에 따라 라이너의 성형성에 민감한 영향을 주기 때문에 사용 소재인 폴리아미드에 대한 온도 조건을 정확히 설정해야 한다. 라이너 소재인 폴리아미드(Polyamide)의 구조적 변화는 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)으로 표면을 분석하였으며, DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimeter)로 결정화도를 측정하여 저온에서의 기계적 강도 값에 변화를 줄 것인지를 평가하였다. 또한, 라이너 내부의 황색도를 관찰하여 라이너의 성형성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 내부온도의 용융 범위가 넓을수록 낮은 황색도를 나타냈으며, 저온에서의 연신율 및 충격 특성은 향상됐다. 또한, AFM과 DSC에 의해 폴리아미드의 구조가 균일하고 높은 결정화도를 가진 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 이와 같은 실험 결과는 회전 성형 시 온도 조건의 변화가 저온에서의 물성 향상에 기여함을 입증했으며, 향후 기밀성 평가를 통해 실 제품으로의 적용성 검증이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Aluminum liners used in cylinders are hazardous for human health. In this study, we use a plastic PA liner inside cylinders to solve this problem. Plastic PA liners are widely used in the manufacturing industry in the production of food and beverage containers. We covered the aluminum boss with a plastic liner material and wound the composite fibers over the liner material. To reinforce the dome area, we used low strength / high elongation plastic liner. To predict the performance of the developed product, we conducted structural analyses utilizing the 3D laminated solid element. We verified the soundness of the product by testing the prototype.

To store hydrogen with high pressure is one of key technologies in developing FCVs (fuel cell vehicles). Especially, metal lined composite structure, which is called Type 3, is expected to effectively stand highly pressurized hydrogen since it has high specific strength and stiffness as well as excellent storage ability. However, it has many difficulties to design Type 3 vessels because of their complex geometry, fabrication process variables, etc. In this study, therefore, optimal design of Type 3 vessels was performed in consideration of such actual circumstances using genetic algorithm. Additionally, detailed finite element analysis was followed for the optimal result.
