The Influence of Corrosion and Pressure Variation on the Minimum Safety Factor of a 3D Hexagonal Toroid with Regular Hexagonal Cross-Section Used in Manufacturing of LPG Storage Tanks
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
This research was aimed to explore the minimum safety factor (SF) values of a three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal toroid with regular hexagonal cross-section used in manufacturing of LPG storage tanks from the automotive industry. Numerical simulations had been carried out to assess the influence of the corrosion and pressure variation on the minimum safety factor values. A polynomial interpolation was applied to provide a comparison between the surfaces or curves for which the SF has the minimum values. The development of the parametric 3D model (done in the AutoCAD Autodesk 2017 software, which was imported for analysis to SolidWorks 2017 software) on the actual conditions of the structure provides the decision-maker with the information necessary for making high-consequence decisions. The results of this study offer a fundamental understanding of the corrosion behavior of LPG storage tanks in exploitation environments.
