Abstract

This paper aims at the problem of lightweight design of a leading tank truck production enterprise in China. It analyzes the methods of lightweight and combines them with the actual requirements. Using ANSYS software, the FEM model of the whole LPG tanker is built. The strength and stiffness information of the tanker are calculated. The paper studies the lightweight of the tanker by using high-strength steel. Then, the stress and stiffness of the lightweight LPG tanker are checked. The fatigue life is calculated and analyzed by HyperWorks. It provides a reliable basis for the design and manufacture of the LPG tanker.
