Abstract

The aim is to determine the possibility of extending the life of rubber-metal dampeners of seismic isolation of spherical tanks for the storage of liquefied petroleum gas.There is offered a technique including accelerated aging dampeners for extended life, accelerated life tests and validation of their basic functional characteristics: creep, strength and stiffness.An example of application of the proposed method showing the possibility of extending the life of dampeners of spherical tanks seismic isolation up to 25 years was determined.
