TL;DRAbstract

this program. Consequently, this effort was stopped. However, the potential for developing ultra-thin Ti liners at a reasonably low cost still exists and should be pursued. From the limited number of burst tests that were conducted for the Kevlar-49/epoxy elastomer-lined cylindrical vessels it is evident that both the damage growth process and the failure modes are different for rigid and flexibilized epoxy resin systems. The effect on the performance cannot be, however, conclusively determined at this time. Further testing of these vessels at NASA LeRC may throw some more light on this issue.
