Numerical assessment of liquid filled container subjected to free fall on rigid steel plate

Chemicals can be a great threat to society and the environment, despite its wide usage in industrial applications. Extra precautions have to be taken into account, moreover with increasing number of accident cases involving chemical-transporting tanks. Precautions should be taken especially when tr...

description Chemicals can be a great threat to society and the environment, despite its wide usage in industrial applications. Extra precautions have to be taken into account, moreover with increasing number of accident cases involving chemical-transporting tanks.

In tenns of passive safety, the tank designer has to study the probable effect on the tank body should the transporter get involved in a crash, thus enhancing the design.
