Numerical study of the stress-strain state of the vertical four-compartment cylindrical tank

Abstract

A numerical study of the stress-strain state of the construction of the vertical four-compartment cylindrical tank at the stage of operation for storing various substances has been carried out. The purpose of the finite element calculation is to determine the optimal value of the thickness of its load-bearing walls and partitions, which ensure the mechanical safety of the construction under different modes of filling the containers. The reliability of the calculation results, which are carried out both in linear and geometrically nonlinear formulations, is provided by calculations in two software packages SCAD and ANSYS Mechanical APDL with comparison of solutions.
