This paper presents a proposed approach for improving the design of a composite pressure vessel (CPV) under internal pressure. Thin shell theory, membrane theory, classical lamination theory and Tsai–Wu failure criterion are carefully integrated into an efficient mathematical model. The mathematical model is successfully combined with an in-house developed algorithm that is used to improve the design of any given CPV. Case results show that the proposed approach successfully improved the design of a composite pressure vessel relative to the base design made from steel and also relative to a conventional CPV design approach.
