Fast filling filling of hydrogen pressure tank leads to thermomechanical stresses in vessel structure. In this paper, the aim is to study the thermomechanical behaviour of the material used in the vessel structure. Flat coupons made of the same constituents as the hydrogen tank materials and with different stacking sequences have been tested under quasi-static tensile tests and fatigue. Three types of fatigue tests have been performed in order to understand damage mechanisms due to interactions between thermal and mechanical stresses: thermomechanical fatigue, 1 Hz mechanical fatigue and mechanical fatigue with a constant stress level stage. Damage development has been followed by acoustic emission and microscopic observations. Results show that, whatever the applied loading, there is a significant influence of the stacking sequence of the composite part. Moreover, the comparison of the material response to the different types of fatigue has revealed the harmful role of coupled temperature/mechanical cyclic stresses. (C) 2010 Professor T.
