Investigation and Parametric Analysis of Toppling Of Liquid Carrying Vehicles in Nigerian Roads
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
There has been incessant falling/toppling (a rollover) of fluid conveying tank cars especially petroleum products Conveying tank cars in Nigerian roads. This has led to loss of lives, petroleum products, vehicles and roads’ environmental degradation surfaces damage that cannot be accounted for. This paper investigates critically the factors that are responsible for this menace and likely engineering suggestions and solutions are provided for future design adaptions and knowledge for the producers and users of petroleum Tank cars. Accidents, wastage of petroleum products, loss of these vehicles and spoilage of the road surfaces are grievous conditions that will incur debts or lost on the hands of marketers, petroleum companies – like NNPC etc. will be greatly minimized. Keywords:Parametric Analysis, turning moment, Toppling/ rollover, Fluid conveying Tank car, dynamic stability
