Unfortunately yes ... because the composite layup of the tank and the maximum level of filtrate inside the vessel during lifting will be determined / optimized based on the analysis.
Hi,
Flat (width 8 cm) polyester (or nylon) web slings(without any rubber pads, etc.) are considered.
The lifted composite tank has a diameter of 2 meters and a length of 9 meters and weighs approx. 900 kg.
Illustratively something like this:
I need to perform a structural and buckling analysis for lifting the composite tank (from shell elements). I would like to ask you about the types/possibilities - how to create/define a lifting analysis using round slings. More precisely, how to ideally define the boundary conditions (or 1D...
