Stress-rupture life of Kevlar/epoxy spherical pressure vessels

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6627216
;

A study is in progress to determine the life of Kevlar/epoxy spherical pressure vessels subjected to a constant, sustained pressure until vessel failure, i.e., stress-rupture. This study has two objectives: to generate baseline data on the stress-rupture life of Kevlar/epoxy pressure vessel and to apply statistical reliability theory to vessel and strand data to define vessel life statistics and reliability at given pressure (stress) levels. This report, the second of three, is a compilation of the current pressure vessel data to-date and all strand stress-rupture data generated at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory on several composite materials.
