Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a methodological approach for designing smart composite hydrogen tanks using strain gauges and finite element analysis for continuous structural health monitoring. Simulation identifies critical stress points to optimize sensor placement. Laboratory burst and cyclic tests provide a baseline and proof of concept for a remaining useful life analysis, improving safety and resource efficiency in hydrogen storage. Results demonstrate that strain data reflect stress patterns and material responses, supporting effective monitoring of tank condition during pressurization cycles.
