The Strength Analysis of the Partitions in Road Tank Reservoirs

The evaluation of pressure forces on the tank body has been obtained by using one-dimensional wave equation. The liquid pressure forces on the tank body caused by hydroimpact have been calculated. The computation of stress distribution for partitions of various configurations has been done. The computational results for the proposed 3 mm wavy partition (1 mm thinner than the existing one) have shown the decrease of the maximum stress in it compared with other ones. The positive effect of the existing partition replacement on the waved baffle is explained.
