Abstract :
Thin wall shell structure has low weight and high resistance. The load capacity, buckling behavior and post buckling behavior of steel tanks thin wall, is very sensitive to geometric imperfections. Due to the small wall thickness of the shell structures enabling the creation of any deformation and there is a disturbance on the surface of the wall. Considering the types of errors occurred when build or assembled these structures, are not built these structure, ideally. This imperfections may be in the process of rolling, removable panels, installation or welding arise. Incomplete reports about the negative impact of the effect of welding on the axial bearing capacity. Comprehensive research on the effects of imperfection of initial geometrical shape on the steel tank vibration modes, and its effect on the bearing capacity steel storage tanks that considerable research It's not done. In this research, the actual behavior of cylindrical shells with initial geometric imperfections on mode shapes steel tanks in the pre-buckling and post-buckling. And the effect of initial geometric imperfections on steel tanks slashing been paid. Using finite element software, ABAQUS, and verification of the results of the analysis and nonlinear analysis with experimental results. Been paid. Imperfect geometric shape has changed mods. The effect of these changes on slashing are very small.
