Abstrakt: The detail design of a solar ceramic composite pressure vessel is described. The pressure vessel is submitted to an internal pressure of 105 Pa (1.5 psi) pressure and an inner wall temperature of 1700°C (3060°F) with zero outer wall temperature. The wall is a quasi-isotropic lay-up of thin plies interspersed with very low ceramic composite fiber volume ratio. Detail analysis results are plotted variable versus wall thickness. Strain, stress and combined stress failure criteria indicates that the ceramic composite will survive the load conditions. The combined-stress failure -criteria indicate substantial margins of safety. Progressive Failure Bust simulation shows validated this claim, predicted fracture/burst pressure, and showed damage mechanism initiation and propagation until burst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
