An Analysis of Cylindrical Tank of Elastic Foundation by Transfer Matrix and Stiffness Matrix
An Analysis of Cylindrical Tank of Elastic Foundation by Transfer Matrix and Stiffness Matrix
탄성지반상의 원형탱크해석에는 여러방법이 있지만 최근에 널리 사용되는 방법은 유한요소법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 탄성지반상의 탱크해석시 많은 절점수가 필요하게 된다. 이것은 곧 많은 계산기 기억용량 및 계산시간 뿐만 아니라 노력이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 유사탄성지반보(Analogy of Beam on Elastic Foundation) 및 지반강성행렬(Foundation Stiffness Matrix)을 이용하여 축대칭하중을 받는 축대칭탱크를 뼈대 구조화 할 수 있었다. 또한 이 뼈대 구조를 유한요소로 분할하고, 각 요소 강성행렬(Stiffness Matrix)을 전달행렬(Transfer Matrix)로 전환하여 전달행렬법으로 원형탱크를 해석 할 수 있었다. 유한요소법과 전달행렬법을 탄성지반상의 원형탱크 해석에 적용한 결과 두 해석결과의 차이는 없고, 전달행렬법을 적용한 경우 최종 연립방정식수가 4개로 간략화 되었다.
Even though there are many analysis methods of circular tanks on elastic foundation, the finite element method is widely used for that purpose. But the finite element method requires a number of memory spaces, computation time to solve large stiffness equations. In this study many the simplified methods(Analogy of Beam on Elastic Foundation, Foundation Stiffness Matrix, Finite Element Method and Transfer Matrix Method) are applied to analyze a circular tank on elastic foundation. By the given analysis methods, BEF analogy and foundation matrix method, the circular tank was transformed into the skeletonized frame structure. The frame structure was divided into several finite elements. The stiffness matrix of a finite element is related with the transfer matrix of the element. Thus, the transfer matrix of each finite element utilized the transfer matrix method to simplify the analysis of the tank. There were no significant difference in the results of two methods, the finite element method and the transfer matrix method. The transfer method applied to a circular tank on elastic foundation resulted in four simultaneous equations to solve completely.
