Design and Optimization of Pressurized Toroidal LPG Fuel Tanks with Variable Section
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This study addresses the design and optimization of the pressurized toroidal LPG fuel tanks with variable section used in automotive industry based on the finite element analysis (FEA) approaches, to model both thermal and mechanical processing conditions. To define specific key performance indicators and to determine the optimal form of toroidal LPG fuel tank with the minimum stress state and linear deformation was applied a mathematical and mechanical foundation for the design and optimization. Computer aided investigations are carried out using 3D models done in the AutoCAD Autodesk 2017 software, which were imported to SolidWorks 2017 software for analysis and can offer an important reference for the design of toroidal LPG fuel tanks.
