FEM application in geometrically non-linear analysis of local shape defects on steel cylindrical tank walls
Santrauka
In the many economically based reasons any natural engineering investigations of huge steel storage tanks and other structures of such kind of buildings are very expensive. Natural inspection of tank dents (volumes of tanks were from 1 000 to 50 000 m³, diameter of dents were from 0,40 to 4,50 m a depth - up to 120 mm) has shown that the usage of semi-empiric analytical expressions from existing design standards is rather complicated.
