Resumen

In this paper it is established an

analytical design methodology

for pressure gas bottles based on

strength analytical technics. This

methodology can be used not only

for metal (steel or aluminium)

bottles but also for mixed metal

and composite (one or more

layers).

To make the analysis and the

design some aspects must take in

mind: resistance, weight and price

and the methodology must allow

solving easily and quickly any

material combination. As well it

can be analyzed each zone of the

bottle: head, body and button.

In this paper some materials have

been analyzed: steel, aluminium,

carbon fi bre, basalt fi bre and

some material combinations too.

To end, it has been verifi ed

the analytical obtained results

in terms of resistance using

numerical methods, like fi nite

elements method (FEM)
