Abstract: | A cylindrical tank is mounted with its axis horizontal. Supports on either side run lengthwise. If the tank wall is thin, deformations significantly affect the stresses, so that standard stress formulae (which ignore deformations) may over-estimate stresses by a factor of ten or more. In this paper, deformations are accounted for by a nonlinear analysis. Stresses and deformed shapes are reported for various positions of the supports, radius to thickness ratios, and depths of fill. |
