A Review: The Effect of Laminate Parameters on the Performance of Fibre-Reinforced Composite Pressure Vessel

Abstract Sustainable development has become the main theme of the world’s economic development nowadays. Hydrogen energy, as a new type of clean energy, has received extensive attention and focused research from countries in recent years, and the search for safe, efficient, economical and more energy-saving hydrogen storage technologies is the main direction of hydrogen energy utilization development. With the increasing requirements for the light weighting of hydrogen storage pressure vessels and the growing maturity of composite material design and processing technologies, various pressure vessels have evolved from metal tanks to fiber-reinforced pressure vessels (FRPVs) over the past decade or so, mainly to reduce weight and increase pressure ratings. Fiber-wound pressure vessels are an important direction for the future development of high-pressure vessels, and during the preparation of fiber-reinforced pressure vessels, the parameters of the winding and molding process play a crucial role in the performance of the products. In this paper, the effects of design and process parameters such as resin mass fraction, fiber volume fraction, winding tension, winding path, winding pattern, etc. on the forming process of FRPV winding layer and the performance and quality of the finished products are reviewed, and different optimization techniques for each parameter are summarized, and the problems and development trends are proposed to provide a reference for the research on the forming process of fiber-wound pressure vessels.
