Thanks for all the replies,
Can someone give more details on calculating the g-force in different conditions like braking, left / right cornering etc? Would appreciate if we can have some info on finding the force on the mounting bolts as well based on the current design.
I am insisting our...
Mike, I really don't know what made you say that and why do you think I would do such a thing when I am seriously looking for a solution.
This is the drawing I got from our Engineering dept. I don't know if it was copied from a different project with ss tank as we do both PP and steel tanks.
Thanks a lot for all the responses and for your time..
Very much appreciate the links posted.. some of them really gave some good information. What I noticed is, the vehicles I saw in one of the link does have PP tanks but those are too small and doesnt seem to pose any risk of shearing.
To...
Thanks for your time desertfox,
In fact I discussed with our Engineering dept but it looks like things are running on assumptions and they are looking to have a design validation done by conducting a road test to simulate actual use of the truck. But I'm not convinced and believe that even if...
Can someone suggest a way to calculate the force that the mounting bolts may be subject to, in the event that the truck be driven in circles at a particular velocity etc? Thanks for any help in advance!!
Our company equips trucks with required equipment and structure for different applications.
We have a truck mounted with a 10,000 lit (2700 US gal) Poly Propelene tank (External Dimension height: 1600mm X Width: 2500mm X Length: 2800mm). The tank is mounted on a frame under the tank using bolts...
