Structural Analysis of Helios Filament-Wound Tanks Subjected to Internal Pressure and Cooling

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

A finite-element stress analysis is performed on Helios filament-wound hydrogen tanks to examine the stress field and effect of end dome geometry on the stress field. Each tank is composed of a central circular cylindrical section with either geodesic or hemispherical end domes, which have metallic polar bosses. The tanks are subjected to combined and separate internal pressure and temperature loading conditions, and the stress contributions of each...
