| Abstract | ||
| Liquid storage tanks are important components of many civilian and military facilitiea. They have a vital role for storage of water and other liquids for use in military bases, industrial companies, nuclear reactor installations and water supply facilities. The dynamic behavior of these tanks under different forms of loading such as blasts, winds and earthquakes is of. intereat. The influence of fuel tanks in rockets on the flight control system is another matter of concern. Although the behavior of tanks under dynamic loadings has received considerable attention during the past three decades in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering, recent results are not readily available in a comprehensive form suitable for design. The aim of the present paper isto address recent advances in the dynamic analysis of tanks, to bridge the gap between academic and practical applications, and to present a comprehensive review of the subject which makes iL more under-standable and useful to researchers and to practicing engineers. A review of current design practice is presented and recommended design provisions are described. | ||
