PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS DURING YOUR PRESENTATION.
• What is your research goal or question?
Goal: Design and experimentally implement a high energy density hydraulic accumulator utilizing strain energy as the storage mechanism.
• How does this project fit into the CCEFP’s overall research strategy? Contributes to the Center’s goal of breaking the barrier of a lack of compact energy storage.
• What is the competing research or methods? Why / what makes this technology better than the competition? What has been done in the past?Competing methods: 1) Gas Bladder Accumulators, 2) Piston Accumulators with gas pre-charge, 3) Spring Piston Accumulators, 4) Gas/Elastomeric Foam. What makes it better: 1) does not utilize thermal energy storage – thermal losses and thermal management does not dominate, 2) no gas diffusion through a bladder, 3) cheap!

Project 2C.2 Eric J. Barth 6
Initial Experiments
• Latex tubing served as the bladder– Bubble formation and propagation
• Occurs at yield point of the material• Agreement with FEA analysis conducted using
Patran/Nastran software package
– The “rolling” effect and its importance• Bubble propagation occurred by rolling• Helps avoid unpredictable behavior due to friction

Project 2C.2 Eric J. Barth 7
α-prototype Bladder Design
• Scaled prototype (size, pressure)
• Bladder design• Geometry similar to that of the latex bladder,
thereby assuming a similar radial and axial strain behavior (Poisson’s ratios similar)
• Dimensions determined by– Inner radius - connector– Outer radius - FEA analysis using PATRAN/NASTRAN
using set inner radius and pressure to reach yield stress– Length – based on loaded cross section and predicted
axial expansion to contain desired volume

α-prototype Polyurethane (PU)Bladder
• Thinner walls serve to induce bubble creation at the base of the bladder
• Material: Andur RT 9002 AP– Prepolylmer which can
be cured at room temp.
– Yields an elastomer capable of 600% elongation
Dimensions in inches

α-prototype Testing
• Obtain experimental results for:– Energy storage– Round-trip energy storage efficiency
• Study how these metrics are effected by:– Bladder inflation/deflation rates– Hold times– Material creep caused by fatigue

Experimental Procedure
• Obtain flow and pressure data for loading and unloading
• The Needle Valve:– Allows control of the flow rate in and out of the bladder– Set manually
• Multiple loading and unloading cycles (n>30 to obtain statistically reliable data) for a given:– Needle valve position– Holding time
• Tests will be repeated periodically– To check whether the bladder’s performance changes
significantly over time

Elongation and Loss CoefficientCambridge Engineering Selector (CES), 2008
Note: The mechanical loss coefficient characterizes acoustic energy damping (high frequency, small amplitudes). This may not be the right metric for ascertaining loss in our system (low frequency, large amplitudes).
