Carbon fibers and aluminum-based alloys are the most common choice for today's advanced hydrogen storage solutions due to their lightweight. They also combine exceptional mechanical performance and resistance to most chemicals. However, carbon fibers alone are the primary cost driver for hydrogen st...

Finite element (FE) analysis of a filament wound 700-bar compressed hydrogen storage Type 4 tank is presented. Construction of the FE model was derived from an initial netting analysis to determine the optimal dome shape, winding angle, and helical and hoop layer thicknesses. The FE model was then u...

High pressure hydrogen permeation tests were carried out and specific permeation rates of various thermoplastic matrix materials have been measured as well as of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (PA6, PA12, PA410, PPA, PPS), considering non-crimp and crimp textile architectures. ...
