Use of hydrogen as an automotive fuel has been successfully demonstrated for the use but they are not ready for consumers yet. One of the major problems associated with the use of hydrogen as an automotive fuel is the storage of hydrogen on-board. Hydrostatic Pressure Retainment (HPR) is an innovative gaseous storage concept which consists of a number of small hollow spherical bubbles arranged within a solid mass similar to a sponge-like structure. These spherical bubbles or the inner-matrix can be arranged in similar fashion as the three basic packing structures of crystalline metals: Simple Cubic (SC), Body Centered Cubic (BCC) and Face Centered Cubic (FCC). In a HPR vessel, suitable configuration for the inner-matrix and feasibility study of different materials is a crucial design step. This thesis investigates the feasibility of different materials for inner-matrix using an ideal BCC microstructure and also achieves one of the milestones of the HPR research by finding and analytically supporting the suitable configuration for the HPR inner-matrix, using Finite Element Analysis.
