## Abstract

A method of manufacturing a composite material pressure vessel is provided. The method may include preparing a liner provided with an entrance portion; and forming an inner shell by winding at least one composite material filament around the liner, wherein the forming of the inner shell includes simultaneously winding a plurality of enamel wire strain sensors around the liner together with the composite material filament by differentiating a start point where each of the plurality of enamel wire strain sensors manufactured in the form of a filament starts to be wound around the liner. A composite material pressure vessel is further manufactured by using the method.
