Abstract Hemispherical end caps cover cylindrical pressure vessels mid‐surfaces for oil and gas, subsea vacuum enclosures, and automobile, and aerospace hydrogen carriers globally. This review discusses the importance of composite overwrapped cylindrical pressure vessel design characteristics like external pressures. The analysis of composite material properties and their resistive behavior on the cylindrical section is used to ensure accurate, safe, and effective pressure vessel operation at high pressures. Composite materials are popular for lightweight and end‐use performance in pressure vessel carriers for diverse applications. Current fibers include carbon, glass, and carbon/glass hybrid composite pressure vessels that employ less heavy material. Composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) need accurate lamina sequence, laminate thickness, and fiber winding angles. Mandrel (liner) material, is also examined and suggested for metallic composite high‐pressure vessels (MC‐HPVs) including metal liners or circular rings circumferentially to decrease buckling and reinforce (Type‐III) COPV shells. The focus is on designing cylindrical components to prevent buckling in space rockets and automobiles under high‐pressure conditions, using stiffeners and holes for various stress scenarios. Genetic algorithm (GA) optimizes worst defects in composite cylinder shape on buckling, circular cutting holes on the shell for optimum stacking sequence lamination of fiber over the liner, and snap‐through reactions to support against buckling factors under pressure. The importance of autofrettage pressure and vibration on composite cylinder buckling was also analyzed. Liner‐less (Type‐V) composite pressure vessels represent the future of lightweight high‐performance pressure vessels, yet (Type IV) composite cylinders with plastic liners are light and strong and have numerous uses. Highlights Buckling of cylindrical shells with mandrel material (liner) transition.
