    Abstract: A nested tank construction for pressurized materials comprises first and second cylindrical tanks connected together so that they are axially aligned. The first tank comprises a dome end which is inverted so that it extends inwardly into the first tank and is under compression loading when exposed to pressure within the first tank. The second tank comprises a dome end which extends outwardly from the second tank and is under tension loading when exposed to pressure within the second tank. The first and second tank dome ends have a matching geometry so that the second tank dome end is nested into the first tank dome end. The first tank dome end is a honeycomb sandwich structure comprising an aluminum membrane, a honeycomb core adhered to the concave face of the aluminum membrane, and a fiber composite face sheet adhered to the concave face of the honeycomb core. The honeycomb sandwich structure is co-cured under heat and pressure. A gap is provided between the face sheet of the composite sandwich structure and the second tank dome end. The tank construction is particularly useful for gaseous or liquid materials which are hypergolic when mixed, or which are maintained at cryogenic temperatures.

    Abstract translation: 用于加压材料的嵌套罐结构包括连接在一起的第一和第二圆筒形容器,使得它们轴向对准。 第一罐包括圆顶端,其倒置,使得其向内延伸进入第一罐,并且当暴露于第一罐内的压力时处于压缩载荷下。 第二罐包括从第二罐向外延伸的圆顶端,当暴露在第二罐内的压力下时,该顶端处于张力负载下。 第一和第二储罐圆顶端部具有匹配的几何形状,使得第二罐顶端部嵌套到第一罐顶端。 第一罐圆顶端是包括铝膜,粘附到铝膜的凹面的蜂窝芯和粘附到蜂窝芯的凹面的纤维复合面板的蜂窝夹层结构。 蜂窝夹层结构在热和压力下共同固化。 在复合夹层结构的面板和第二罐顶端之间设置间隙。 油罐结构对于混合时是高效的或者保持在低温下的气态或液态物质特别有用。
