Abstract

The paper is devoted to the static analysis water tank. Three different thicknesses of walls of the water tank are proposed and the structure is analysed in order to find appropriate stress and deformation states of structure. The maximal stress level was higher than the yield strength of stainless steel used in structure so seven different variants of stiffeners were proposed for improving stability and strength of structure.
