Dynamic Characteristic Analysis of Large Scale Storage Tank

Shen Li-ying

Abstract

Analysis of natural vibration characteristics was important for seismic response of large scale storage tanks.For further analysis of dynamic behaviors of large scale storage tanks in earthquake FEM models of 100 dam3 storage tank with different crude oil quantities were built with ANSYS program.Considering the coupling effect between the crude oil and tank,an analysis was made for the oil sloshing and natural vibration characteristics of a tank system.The results show that the height of crude oil is an important factor to vibration frequency of the tank system and resonance would happen when certain high order natural vibration frequencies of tank system are excited,which plays an important role in the seismic response of the large broad storage tanks.
