Abstract:
Pressure vessel end dome reinforcements are placed upon resin-impregnated fiber-wound pressure vessels to improve the strength-to-weight ratio of high performance pressure vessels, such as those that are used as rocket motors, gas generators, and the like. The reinforcement structures are assembled from gore pieces to form gore bodies over dome regions of the pressure vessels.
