What is Stress Analysis of Steel Tanks in Earthquakes about?

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the stress on cylindrical steel liquid storage tanks during earthquakes. The study used explicit dynamic analysis in ANSYS Workbench to model the interaction between stored liquid and tank material. An earthquake acceleration record was applied to model seismic loading. Stresses were highest when modeling the stored liquid as an Eulerian body mesh. The study recommends strengthening existing tanks with epoxy carbon composite material to reduce shear stresses.
