Liquid storage cylindrical containers are built for storing a variety of liquids. The seismic behavior of tanks is, however, quite complex problem. The interaction of tank and liquid can be simplified with the concept of generalized single-degree-of-freedom systems representing the convective, rigid impulsive and flexible impulsive vibration modes. This paper presents the theoretical background...

In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

as the science of mechanics has been improved in recent years, different standards have been created in designing structures such as pressure vessels. most of these standards have been developed by means of experience and examination. today, most of researches, proceed the numerical analysis of the different elements of the pressure vessels and somehow they have put some questions on the previo...

In order to evaluate the blast mitigation effect of polyurethane foam in cylindrical explosion containment vessels (CECVs), a three-dimensional numerical simulation model was established. The Structured Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (S-ALE) algorithm applied current simulations define coupling contact between TNT and Lagrange algorithm. verified by comparing dynamic deformation permanent experiments...
