  Research performed on Biaxial study of liner materials in composite pressure bottles (Sponsor: ISRO, India)• Developed 25 ton capacity biaxial test set-up, which capable of apply both uniaxial & equi/variable biaxial tensile loading. • In-order to achieve pure biaxial stress state, cruciform test specimens are developed by performing detailed FE simulations specifically under material non-linearity. • Uniaxial & biaxial tests carried out on Ti-6Al-4V liner materials and observed… Show more Research performed on Biaxial study of liner materials in composite pressure bottles (Sponsor: ISRO, India)• Developed 25 ton capacity biaxial test set-up, which capable of apply both uniaxial & equi/variable biaxial tensile loading. • In-order to achieve pure biaxial stress state, cruciform test specimens are developed by performing detailed FE simulations specifically under material non-linearity. • Uniaxial & biaxial tests carried out on Ti-6Al-4V liner materials and observed that 9 to 27% increase in yield stress under biaxial loading compared to uniaxial loading.
