[0048] To effectively assess the failure risk of composite-wound high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions, this invention proposes a thermo-mechanical coupling numerical method, specifically a safety assessment method for composite-wound high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions. This method aims to provide an accurate assessment of the failure risk of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions by combining thermo-mechanical coupling numerical simulation with fire testing, for use in the design optimization and safety analysis of high-pressure gas cylinders. It can comprehensively analyze the overall safety of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions. This method can not only determine whether the high-pressure gas cylinder has been damaged, but also provide key parameters such as the pressure relief curve, fragment size, and kinetic energy after damage, providing a scientific basis for the evaluation and optimization of the fire resistance performance of high-pressure gas cylinders.

[0049] Next, the solutions provided in the embodiments of this specification will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0051] Step 110: Perform flow field analysis on the heat input from the fire source to obtain the flow field analysis results.

[0052] The flow field analysis results include at least the temperature field distribution and pressure field changes of the composite material wrapped around the high-pressure gas cylinder under fire load; specifically, the flow field analysis involves analyzing the heat flow input from the fire source, calculating the heat exchange between the flame and the surface of the high-pressure gas cylinder, and obtaining the temperature field distribution and pressure field changes of the composite material wrapped around the high-pressure gas cylinder under fire load.

[0053] The flow field analysis simulates the heat exchange process between the ignition source and the high-pressure gas cylinder using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, taking into account factors such as the temperature of the ignition source, distance, and flame stability.

[0054] Step 120: Conduct high-temperature tests on composite materials and metal linings to determine temperature-related constitutive model parameters;

[0055] Specifically, based on high-temperature tests, experimental data are set, constitutive model form is determined, and thermal performance tests of materials are conducted under high-temperature conditions to obtain constitutive model parameters related to the temperature of composite materials and metal linings.

[0056] Constitutive models are mathematical models used to describe the mechanical behavior of materials under different stress and strain states. Constitutive model parameters include those found in mathematical models describing the mechanical behavior of materials under different stress, strain, and temperature states, such as elastic modulus, yield strength, and coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0057] Step 130: Based on the flow field analysis results, constitutive model parameters, and the defined transient thermo-mechanical load on the high-pressure gas cylinder, establish a thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model.

[0058] The thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model is based on a constitutive model related to material temperature, including the influence of temperature on thermal parameters and mechanical properties.

[0059] The thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model is used to simulate the thermal response and mechanical behavior of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions.

[0060] Discretization of the loading process: Since composite materials are brittle materials, no plastic deformation occurs during loading. Therefore, the influence of loading history is ignored, and the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis during loading is simplified by discretization.

[0061] Thermo-mechanical coupling analysis: Based on the flow field analysis results, the transient thermo-mechanical load on the high-pressure gas cylinder is defined, and a thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model is established to simulate the thermal response and mechanical behavior of the high-pressure gas cylinder under fire conditions.

[0062] Step 140: Verify and correct the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model through a fire test; if the high-pressure gas cylinder is damaged, establish a fluid-structure coupling analysis model using the dichotomy method to assess the fire safety of the composite material-wound high-pressure gas cylinder.

[0063] Model validation: The thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model was validated and corrected through fire tests;

[0064] Damage assessment: If the high-pressure gas cylinder is damaged, the temperature field and internal pressure of the high-pressure gas cylinder damage are obtained by combining the dichotomy method, a fluid-structure interaction analysis model is established, and the pressure relief curve, fragment size, kinetic energy, etc. of the high-pressure gas cylinder are analyzed to provide corresponding safety assessment data.

[0065] Specifically, the damage assessment method ignores the influence of loading history on the loading result. It calculates the temperature field and internal pressure at the moment of rupture of the high-pressure gas cylinder by discretization and combining the bisection method. The damage assessment combines experimental data and numerical simulation results to provide the critical failure conditions of composite material wrapped high-pressure gas cylinder under fire load, including safety indicators such as temperature threshold, internal pressure threshold and structural integrity.

[0066] The fluid-structure interaction analysis model accurately simulates the dynamic response of composite material-wound high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions by coupling the results of thermo-mechanical analysis and flow field analysis, and evaluates its resistance to damage under different fire intensities.

[0067] Safety assessment data can include simulation results of the rupture mode, fragmentation, and depressurization process of high-pressure gas cylinders wrapped with composite materials during fire, which can serve as a basis for improving the safety and optimizing the design of high-pressure gas cylinders.

[0068] Figure 1 The method described herein involves analyzing the flow field of the heat input from the fire source to obtain the flow field analysis results; conducting high-temperature tests on composite materials and metal linings to determine the temperature-related constitutive model parameters; establishing a thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model based on the flow field analysis results, constitutive model parameters, and the defined transient thermo-mechanical load on the high-pressure cylinder; verifying and correcting the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model through fire tests; and, if the high-pressure cylinder fails, establishing a fluid-structure interaction analysis model using the bisection method to assess the fire safety of composite material-wound high-pressure cylinders. This method can accurately assess the failure risk of composite material-wound high-pressure cylinders under fire conditions, accurately simulate the destructive behavior of high-pressure cylinders under fire conditions, and provide a reliable basis for the design optimization, material selection, and fire safety performance analysis of high-pressure cylinders.

[0069] based on Figure 1 In addition to the method described herein, this specification also provides some specific implementation methods of this method, which will be described below.

[0070] Furthermore, the overall process of the composite material winding high-pressure gas cylinder fire safety assessment method of this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the specific process of the composite material wound high-pressure gas cylinder fire safety assessment method is as follows:

[0071] First, flow field analysis is performed, specifically: the heat flow input of the high-pressure gas cylinder is evaluated through flow field analysis, and the temperature field distribution and pressure field changes of the composite material wound high-pressure gas cylinder under fire load are obtained.

[0072] Next, a thermo-mechanical coupling analysis will be performed. The specific process of the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis is as follows:

[0073] High-temperature constitutive model of materials (linings, composite materials): Conduct high-temperature tests on composite materials and metal linings to obtain temperature-related constitutive model parameters;

[0074] Discretization of loading process: Considering that composite materials are brittle materials, the influence of plastic deformation is ignored, and the loading process is discretized to simplify the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis process and simulate the high-pressure gas cylinder fire response in a quasi-transient manner for efficient calculation.

[0075] Thermo-mechanical coupling analysis: The temperature field obtained from the flow field analysis is fitted with a function, and transient thermal loads are defined in the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis in a functional manner to simulate the thermal response and mechanical behavior of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions;

[0076] Model validation: Conduct fire tests to validate and revise the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model;

[0077] Damage assessment (fire damage threshold): If the high-pressure gas cylinder is damaged, the temperature field and pressure of the damage are obtained by combining the dichotomy method, a fluid-structure interaction analysis model is established, and the pressure relief curve, fragment size, kinetic energy, etc. of the high-pressure gas cylinder are analyzed to provide safety assessment data.

[0078] Next, the implementation steps of the method flow of the present invention will be described in detail:

[0079] Combined with appendix Figure 2 The method provided in this embodiment mainly includes two core modules: flow field analysis and thermo-mechanical coupling analysis.

[0080] Flow field analysis and temperature and pressure field acquisition: First, based on the gas ignition source condition, a heat exchange model between the ignition source and the high-pressure gas cylinder is established using Fluent computational fluid dynamics software to obtain the time-domain variation characteristics of the temperature field on the outer wall and the internal pressure of the high-pressure gas cylinder under combustion conditions. This simulation process does not consider the deformation and damage of the high-pressure gas cylinder structure, but only focuses on the heat transfer process.

[0081] In this embodiment, the high-pressure gas cylinder has a spherical structure with an outer diameter of 132 mm, an inner diameter of 127 mm, and a metal lining thickness of 1 mm. The heat source adopts a localized directional heating mode, with the flame pointing towards the center of the sphere. The area of ​​action is located on the outer surface of the spherical shell, and the heat flow covers a portion of the spherical surface, with the loaded area accounting for approximately 1 / 8 of the total spherical surface area. The outer wall of the high-pressure gas cylinder is set as the heat transfer boundary, the ambient air temperature is set to 300 K, a radiation model is enabled in the calculation, the simulation time step is set to 0.1 s, and the total loading time is 600 s.

[0082] High-Temperature Constitutive Model Acquisition: Under fire load, the gas inside the high-pressure cylinder expands, and the structure mainly bears tensile load. To accurately describe the material response, the high-temperature mechanical properties of the metal liner and the composite material were characterized. The stress-strain response of the metal liner material was obtained through quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests at different temperatures, and its temperature-strain rate related constitutive parameters were fitted. In this embodiment, the Johnson-Cook constitutive model can be used to describe the mechanical behavior of the metal liner.

[0083] The composite material uses carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix. The specimens are cut from the wound shell and subjected to tensile tests at different temperatures to obtain the temperature-dependent mechanical behavior response. In this embodiment, a temperature-dependent orthotropic model is used for modeling.

[0084] Temperature field fitting and thermo-mechanical coupling analysis model construction: see appendix Figure 3 To incorporate the flow field analysis results into the structural thermal analysis, the surface temperature distribution characteristics of the high-pressure gas cylinder were considered. Under localized fire, the high-pressure gas cylinder exhibits different temperature distribution characteristics along the fire direction: the temperature is high near the fire source and low further away, with a high temperature gradient region existing between the high-temperature and low-temperature areas. To accurately fit the temperature distribution of the high-pressure gas cylinder, it was segmented along the fire direction according to the temperature distribution characteristics, and a piecewise function (f1, f2…f) was used. n Fit the spatial distribution relationship of temperature in each segment to construct a continuous temperature boundary condition input.

[0085] A thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model is established in the LS-DYNA program. Temperature analysis in LS-DYNA can be calculated using the energy conservation equation (1), while mechanical behavior is calculated using the momentum conservation equation (2). The thermo-mechanical coupling method simultaneously solves both the energy and momentum conservation equations and uses a temperature-dependent material model to reflect the influence of heat on its softening, expansion (equation 3), and other mechanical behaviors. Plastic strain energy is partially converted into heat Φ, affecting the temperature field. In the equations, ρ represents density, u is the displacement vector, σ is the stress vector, and f is the volume force. Here, is the gradient operator, c is the specific heat capacity, T is the temperature, k is the thermal conductivity, Φ is the heat source term, and ε is the coefficient of performance. th α represents thermal strain, and α is the coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0086]

[0087] ε th =αΔT (3)

[0088] The temperature boundary is applied to the outer wall element of the high-pressure gas cylinder using the *BOUNDARY_TEMPERATURE command, while the internal gas pressure is applied as an equivalent surface pressure using the *LOAD_SEGMENT command. Simulation results are compared with fire test data to verify and correct the accuracy of the simulation model.

[0089] Bisection method for searching the critical moment of rupture: see appendix Figure 4Considering the brittle nature of composite material failure, the influence of loading history is ignored in the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis. A bisection method is used to iteratively determine the critical moments for rupture / depressurization of the high-pressure gas cylinder. Firstly, at the initial (t0) and final (t...) moments of the fire... n Apply temperature and pressure boundaries and perform structural analysis; if neither of these conditions is damaged, it is determined that the ignition source conditions will not cause the high-pressure gas cylinder to fail.

[0090] If the high-pressure gas cylinder structure is intact at the initial time (t0), then at the end time (t... n If a disruption occurs, then the midpoint between the two times (t) is taken. n / 2 ) to perform analysis, if at that time (t n / 2 If the high-pressure gas cylinder is damaged, then the midpoint between the previous step when it was not damaged (t) is taken. n / 4 Repeat this process until the adjacent time interval is equal to the flow field calculation output step size Δt (Δt = 0.1s in this embodiment), thereby determining the accurate time point of rupture and extracting the temperature and pressure distribution at that moment.

[0091] Fluid-structure interaction simulation of pressure relief response: see appendix Figure 5 Using the temperature and pressure fields extracted at the moment of rupture as initial conditions, a fluid-structure interaction analysis model is constructed to simulate the dynamic process of pressure relief after the high-pressure gas cylinder ruptures.

[0092] This model considers both the internal high-pressure gas and the external normal-pressure air. In this embodiment, the ALE method is used to simulate the fluid domain motion. The fluid-structure interaction analysis results can provide key safety parameters such as pressure relief curves, structural fragment sizes and kinetic energy, which can be used to assess the explosion risk and consequences of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions.

[0093] The technical solution provided by this invention can achieve at least the following technical effects:

[0094] This invention discloses a method for assessing the fire safety of composite material-wound high-pressure gas cylinders, aiming to provide a systematic and precise assessment approach. This method combines flow field analysis, fire testing, and thermo-mechanical coupling simulation to evaluate the response of composite material-wound metal-lined high-pressure gas cylinders under fire loads. The specific steps are as follows: First, flow field analysis is used to assess the heat flow input around the high-pressure gas cylinder, obtaining the temperature field distribution and pressure field changes of the composite material-wound high-pressure gas cylinder under fire loads. Then, high-temperature tests are conducted to obtain the constitutive model parameters of the composite material and the metal liner. Based on the flow field analysis results, a transient thermo-mechanical load is defined, and a thermo-mechanical coupling model is established to simulate the thermal response and mechanical behavior of the high-pressure gas cylinder. The model is verified and corrected through fire testing. If the high-pressure gas cylinder fails, the temperature field and internal pressure of the damage are obtained using a bisection method, and a fluid-structure interaction analysis model is established to analyze the pressure relief curve, fragment size, and kinetic energy after the high-pressure gas cylinder failure, among other safety assessment data. Compared with traditional static testing methods, this invention can accurately simulate the destructive behavior of high-pressure gas cylinders under fire conditions and provide reliable safety assessments. It is applicable to high-pressure gas cylinder design optimization, material selection, and fire safety performance analysis.

[0095] Based on the same idea, this invention also provides a composite material wound high-pressure gas cylinder fire safety assessment device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device may include:

The flow field analysis means simulating the heat exchange process between the fire source and the high-pressure gas cylinder using a computational fluid dynamics model. The simulation considers at least the temperature factor, distance factor, and flame stability factor of the fire source.
