TY - JOUR TI - Optimal design of the type III hydrogen storage tank for different carbon/epoxy materials by modified differential evolution method AB - In this study, the main objective is to minimize the failure index of a cylindricallaminated composite hydrogen storage tank under internal pressure. The firststep is to obtain the distribution of stress components based on ClassicalLaminated Plate Theory (CLPT). The second is to evaluate the burst pressure ofthe tank according to three different first ply failure criteria and then tocompare the results with the experimental and numerical ones from literature.In the final part of the study, the best possible combination of winding angles,stacking sequences and thicknesses of laminates satisfying minimum possiblestress concentration will be obtained for different Carbon/Epoxy materials byDifferential Evolution Method. The stress components and, the burst pressuresreached according to Hashin-Rotem, Maximum Stress, and Tsai-Wu first-plyfailure criteria, have been complied with experimental and numerical results inthe literature for Type III pressure vessels. Manufacturable Type-III tankdesigns have been proposed satisfying the 35 MPa burst pressure for differentCarbon/Epoxy materials.
