Master’s thesis in the department "Hydrogen, Alternative Fuel Tanks" entitled “Validation of a Burst Failure Criterion and Strength Characterization for Carbon Overwrapped Pressure Vessels Using Numerical Simulations in Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles”For the fulfillment of my Engineer degree I wrote this Master Thesis in the Hydrogen Departement "Alternative Fuel Tanks" of the BMW AG. I was mainly involved in:• Numerical simulation of the burst failure of Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels using the Finite Element Method• Analysis, proposition and comparison of various damage models for the rupture of thick-walled carbon fiber-reinforced structures• Exploitation and simulation of tests for the failure characterization of thick-walled rings• Improvement propositions for further development of the test methods

Full-time internship in a subsidiary of Vinci Construction focusing on the development of appropriate mechanical and structural equipment for nuclear power plants.
