Abstract

In the present paper, after calculation using the Finite Element Method (FEM), stress distribution on the model of a part of the pressure-tank mantle without welded joints (WJ), with transversal WJ, longitudinal WJ and cross point location of WJ is analyzed. Also, FEM calculation and comparative analysis of the effects of WJ on the stress distribution have been conducted using the tank for liquid carbon dioxide as an example, on which, in addition to the mantle sheet-metal and bottom with necessary openings and elements such as saddles with supports and hangers, transversal and longitudinal butt WJ, have been modelled.
