Design a railway cistern for 120,000 kg of Liquid. It has to be a cylindrical shell on two supports.
The cistern is
18 m long
3 m in diameter (inner).
It is made of steel with the yield strength of SY= 240MPa.
Safety factor of FY= 1.9;
Total corrosion allowance, c= 3.0 mm;
Welded joint efficiency = 0.85
Shell thickness, t - 32mm
Check whether this thickness is sufficient to withstand combined action of the internal pressure, t
he weight of liquid, and the action of longitudinal external forces (tensile or compressive) .
Assume the mass of the train as m= 12 x 10^6kg, deceleration during braking of a = 3m/sec
, and during climbing uphill assume the inclination angle of 10 degrees
I assume there will be 3 design cases for this problem:
Case 1 Internal Pressure+ Weight of Liquid
Case 2Internal Pressure+ Weight of Liquid + Inertia during breaking of the railway cistern
Case 3 Forces acting on the pressure vessel: Internal Pressure + Weight of liquid+ inertia of breaking + inclination angle (locomotive applied to the first cistern in the train)
Wondering if I am going about this correctly?
