Abstract

The article discusses a virtual test method for intermodal tank-containers with fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) shells. The method is based on utilization of finite element models validated by results of full-scale static and dynamic tests performed for tank container developed by JSC "UralCryoMash" for transportation of chemically aggressive products. Recommendations have been given with respect to the finite element type, its dimensions and properties. The full-scale tests have been performed in accordance with the requirements of Part VIII "Tank Containers with Fiber-Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Shell" of the Rules for the Manufacture of Containers of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. The calculated stress, strains and shock response spectrum curves have been compared with the test data. The calculated deformation values of the container elements have been demonstrated to be in good agreement with the experimental values.

Keywords: fiber-reinforced plastics, tank container, filament winding, vacuum infusion, strength, finite element method, virtual tests.
