vessels based on hyperelliptic
functions considering both geodesic
and non-geodesic winding patterns
Abstract
Filament-wound composite pressure vessels, owing to the advantages of their high specific strength, specific modulus and
fatigue resistance, as well as excellent design performance, have been widely used in energy engineering, chemical
industry and other fields. A filament-wound composite pressure vessel generally consists of two parts, a cylindrical
drum part and the dome parts. In the cylindrical drum part, the filament winding angle and the winding layer thickness can
be easily determined due to the regular shape. In the dome parts, however, both the winding angle and the thickness vary
along the meridian line. Performance of the dome parts, which strongly depends on the effect of end-opening and the
winding mode, dominates the performance of a pressure vessel. In this paper, optimum design of the dome parts is
studied by considering both geodesic winding and non-geodesic winding patterns. A hyperelliptic function is adopted as
the basis function for describing the meridian of the dome shape. The dome contour is optimized by taking the shape
factor (S.F.) as the objective and parameters in the basis function as the design variables. A specific composite pressure
vessel is taken as the numerical analysis example with varying dome shape which is to be optimized. The optimum design
solution is obtained through the particle swarm optimization algorithm. It shows that an optimized dome with non-
geodesic winding has better S.F. as compared with geodesic winding. Influences of the slippage coefficient and the polar
opening on the S.F. are also discussed.
