As the cargo tank size and configuration of Liquefied Natural Gas carriers(LNGC) grows in response to the global increase in demands for LNG and the necessities of its economical transportation, impact loading from sloshing may become one of the most important factors in the structural safety of LNG Cargo Containment Systems(CCS). The objective of this study is to demonstrate the procedure of the structural safety assessment of MARK III membrane type CCS under sloshing impact loading using local zooming analysis technique of LS-DYNA code.

Reliable strength assessment of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo containment system under the sloshing impact load is very difficult task due to the complexity of the physics involved in, both in terms of the hydrodynamics and structural mechanics. Out of all those complexities, the proper selection of the design sloshing load which is applied to the structural model of the LNG cargo containment system, is one of the most challenging one due to its inherent randomness as well as the statistical analysis which is tightly linked to the design sloshing load selection. In this study, the response based strength assessment procedure of LNG cargo containment system has been developed and proposed as an alternative design methodology. Sloshing pressure time history, measured from the model test, is decomposed into wavelet basis function targeting the minimization of the number of the basis function together with the maximization of the numerical efficiency. Then the response of the structure is obtained using the finite element method under each wavelet basis function of different scale. Finally, the response of the structure under entire sloshing impact time history is rapidly calculated by synthesizing the structural response under wavelet basis function. Through this analysis, more realistic response of the system under sloshing impact pressure can be obtained without missing the details of pressure time history such as rising pattern, oscillation due to air entrapment and decay pattern and so on. The strength assessment of the cargo containment system is then performed based on the statistical analysis of the stress peaks selected out of the obtained stress time history.

To ensure structural integrity of membrane type LNG tank, the rational assessment of the sloshing impact responses of tank structures should be preceded. The sloshing impact pressures acting on the insulation system of LNG tank are typical irregular loads and the resulting structural responses show very complex behaviors accompanied with fluid structure interaction. So it is not easy to estimate them accurately and immense time consuming calculation process would be necessary. In this research, a simplified method to analyse the dynamic structural responses of LNG tank insulation system under pressure time histories obtained by sloshing model test or numerical analysis was studied. The proposed technique based on the concept of linear combination of the triangular response functions which are the transient responses of structures under the unit triangular impact pressure acting on structures. The validity of suggested method was verified through the example calculations and applied to the dynamic structural response analysis of a real Mark III membrane type insulation system using the sloshing impact pressure time histories obtained by model test.

멤브레인형 LNG 탱크의 구조적 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 슬로싱에 의한 작용 압력과 구조응답을 정확히 평가할 수 있어야 한다. 탱크 방열구조에 작용하는 슬로싱 충격하중은 매우 불규칙적이며 이로 인한 구조 응답 역시 유탄성 거동을 포함하는 매우 복잡한 물리 현상이기 때문에 최신의 이론적 실험적 접근 방법을 동원하더라도 정확한 평가가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 실험이나 수치해석으로부터 얻어진 슬로싱 압력 시계열을 이용하여 탱크 방열 구조의 구조응답을 간편하게 해석할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 이 간이 해석법은 기본적인 삼각형 impulse 형태의 충격 압력에 대한 구조응답을 시간영역에서 과도응답해석법으로 계산한 후, 이렇게 구해진 구조물의 삼각형 응답함수를 조합하여 임의 형상의 압력 시계열에 대한 구조 응답을 구하는 방식이다. 여러 가지 예제 해석을 통하여 제안된 해석법의 타당성을 검토하였고, 이를 이용하여 실제 모형실험에서 얻어진 압력시계열을 바탕으로 구조응답을 계산하고 그 결과를 고찰하였다.

While the structural safety assessment of Cargo Containment System(CCS) in membrane type LNG carriers has to be carried out in consideration of sloshing impact pressure, it is very difficult to figure out its dynamic response behaviors due to its very complex structural arrangements/materials and complicated phenomena of sloshing impact loading. For the development of its original technique, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of dynamic response behavior of CCS structure under sloshing impact pressure. In this study, for the exact understanding of dynamic response behavior of CCS structure in membrane Mark III type LNG carriers under sloshing impact pressure, its wet drop impact response analyses were carried out by using Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, and were also validated through a series of wet drop experiments for the enhancement of more accurate shock response analysis technique. It might be thought that the structural response behaviors of impact response analysis, such as impact pressure impulses and resulted strain time histories, generally showed very good agreement with experimental ones with very appropriate use of FSI analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, finite element modeling and material properties of CCS structure, finite element modeling and equation of state(EOS) of fluid domain.

LNG cargo containment system (CCS) has the primary function of ensuring adequate thermal insulation with keeping natural gas below its boiling point. From the viewpoint of structural design, this LNG CCS can be treated as a laminated composite structure showing complex structural responses under the sloshing load which can be defined as a violent behavior of the liquid contents in cargo tanks due to external forced motions. As LNG CCS type, Mark III containment system from TGZ is considered in this paper and then its structural strength assessment is performed based on a simple higher-order shear deformation theory and maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu failure criteria developed for laminated composite plates. The assessment is performed to the initial failure of the Mark III CS plate by investigating failure locations and loads.

항공기가 급격한 기동을 하는 경우에는 연료의 쏠림에 의해 상당한 하중이 관련 구성품들에 작용하는데 심각한 상황에서는 구성품이나 배관의 파손이 발생하여 연료탱크 외부로 연료가 누설될 수 있다. 특히, 외부 연료탱크가 장착된 경우에는 슬로싱 운동에 의해 외부 연료탱크 체결부에 상당한 하중이 작용하게 되는데, 해당 하중을 반영하지 않은 설계로 인하여 체결부의 파손이 발생하게 되면 항공기 안전 뿐만 아니라 승무원의 생존에도 악영향을 미칠수가 있다. 따라서, 따라서, 항공기 및 승무원의 생존성 향상을 위해서는 연료 슬로싱 운동에 의한 하중을 고려하여 연료탱크와 내부 부품뿐만 아니라 체결부에 대한 설계가 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 회전익항공기용 외부 연료탱크의 슬로싱 시험에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 기법으로 유체-구조 연성해석의 하나인 ALE 방법을 사용하였고 미군사 규격에서 요구하는 시험조건을 수치해석에 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과로 외부 연료탱크 체결부 하중을 계산하여 체결부 설계시 고려해야 하는 하중 수준을 검토하였다. 또한, 슬로싱 운동에 의해 금속피팅부와 복합재 컨테이너에 작용하는 응력수준과 안전여유 분석을 통해 구조건전성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

The academic research works about liquid storage tanks are reviewed for the purpose of providing valuable reference to the engineering practice on their aseismic design. A summary of the performance of tanks during past earthquakes is described in this paper. Next, the seismic response of tanks under unidirectional earthquake is reported, supplemented with the dynamic response under multidirectional motions. Then, researches on the influence of soil-structure interaction are brought out to help modify the seismic design approach of tanks in different areas with variable properties of soils. Afterwards, base isolation systems are reported to demonstrate their effectiveness for the earthquake-resistant design of liquid storage tanks. Further, researches about the liquid-structure interaction are reviewed with description of simplified models and numerical analytical methods, some of which consider the elastic effect of tank walls. Moreover, the liquid sloshing phenomenon on the hydrodynamic behaviors of tanks is presented by various algorithms including grid-based and meshfree method. And then the impact of baffles in changing the dynamic characteristics of the liquid-structure system is raised, which shows the energy dissipation by the vortex motion of liquid. In addition, uplifting effect is given to enhance the understanding on the capacity of unanchored tanks and some assessment of their development. At last, the concluding remarks and the aspects of extended research in the field of liquid storage tanks under seismic loads are provided, emphasizing the thermal stress analysis, the replaceable system for base isolation, the liquid-solid interaction and dynamic responses with stochastic excitations.
