Inelastic stability of conical tanks
Abstract
The aim of this investigation is to study the effect of different imperfection shapes on the inelastic stability of liquid-filled conical tanks and to determine the critical imperfection shape that would lead to the minimum inelastic limit load. The study is carried out numerically using a self-developed shell element used to simulate a number of conical tanks having an imperfection shape in the form of Fourier series of equal coefficients. The …
