Abstract: Composite hydrogen cylinders have the advantages of light weight, high specific strength and strong designability, which are widely used for both hydrogen storage and transportation. The charging and discharging of hydrogen may result in fatigue damage of composite hydrogen cylinders, which is one of the main failure modes. Therefore, it has great theoretical and engineering application values to understand the fatigue behavior and develop fatigue life prediction of composite hydrogen cylinders. In this paper, the recent research progress of fatigue simulation analysis and the fatigue failure theories of composite hydrogen cylindersare introduced. The research methods of fatigue life prediction and the influence of main structural parameters of hydrogen storage tanks on fatigue life are summarized. And the future development trend of fatigue simulation is prospected.

Key words: composite hydrogen cylinder, fatigue failure, finite element analysis, life prediction
