Containment capsule stresses for encapsulated phase change materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the effect of external forces and imperfections within the shell structure that could affect the deformation of the shell and concluded that while the shell can deform and safely withstand the anticipated expansion of the zinc, the added effects from point loads caused by the weight of the surrounding encapsulated capsules and other possible imperfections in the capsule structure could cause failure.
