Strength Analysis and Optimization of Tank Truck Based on ANSYS

Abstract

With the vigorous development of the oil industry, the number of tank trucks has increased significantly in recent years. Accidents such as explosion and leakage of oil tank truck during transportation are common. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the stress analysis, strength optimization and safety reliability of oil tank truck. This paper establishes the three-dimensional parametric model of the tank car by the solid works software and changes the thickness and height of the wave preventer, and analyze the influence of the thickness and height of the wave preventer on the tank car under the starting and braking conditions by the ANSYS software. The deformation diagram, strain nephogram and stress nephogram under different working conditions were compared and analyzed to optimize the dimension parameters of the wave preventer. The results show that the optimal thickness and height of the wave preventer are10-15mm and 990-110mm. It can not only meet the oil transportation safety of tank truck, but also save the manufacturing cost, which provides important reference value for the design of tank truck.
