A New Type Tank Container Reinforced with Corrugated Sandwich Structure and Its Design Method
Tank container has become the main equipment for point-to-point transport of liquid cargo because of its high safety,large carrying capacity,low cost,flexible transport,and quick change of different transport modes.In recent years,large volume and high carrying capacity have become the main trend of tank container development.Based on this,a new type of rectangular tank container reinforced with a corrugated sandwich structure was proposed,and the design method of the tank structure was established.Using this method,a new type of tank box with a bearing capacity of 1 MPa was designed,and the design results were compared with the finite element simulation results.The results show that the volume efficiency of the new tank is increased by 17.2%compared with the traditional tank.The stress distribution characteristics calculated by the theoretical design method are consistent with the finite element results,and the maximum error is 6.21%.The method can meet the engineering needs.This method can be used to design the new type of tank container reinforced by arbitrary orthogonal anisotropic sandwich structure,and has high portability.
