NASA Engineering and Safety Center Technical Bulletin No. 20-07: Evaluating and Mitigating Liner Strain Spikes in COPV's

Unexpected cracking and leaking in bonded composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) liners occurring in recent test programs have been attributed to liner strain spikes observed through measurement and predicted by analysis. Diminished load transfer between the liner and composite overwrap can lead to localized excessive liner yielding in the dome section. This diminished constraint can occur due to yielding of the adhesive or a manufacturing unbond defect. COPVs should be assessed for susceptibility to this new failure mode.
