Abstract
This study aims to develop a model to predict the burst pressure of a dry filament wound cord-rubber composite pressure vessel under hydrostatic internal pressurization using a submodelling based global–local FEA model. The model links the global displacements of a rebar-based model to obtain the local deformation state in a single rhomboidal representative volume. Emphasis is placed on capturing the local stress concentrations in the fibers due to the unique filament winding mosaic pattern. Fiber damage is included in the local model using a maximum principle strain criteria. Verification of the created model is done experimentally on industrially manufactured burst-test specimens. Measurements for displacement during the experiments are taken photographically, while the burst pressure is captured using a pressure transducer. The final error between the burst pressure of the samples and the experimental demonstrators is approximately 6.5%, a marked improvement over conventional models with truss and rebar elements as fibers.
