Abstract: In this paper, the impact process of a large LNG tank container for trains was studied by
performing experiments and numerical simulations. Impact force with induced stress and defor-
mation on the container especially on the frame was investigated and LNG sloshing inside the con-
tainer was simulated. Experimental results show that for the initial velocity of 6.1 km/h, the maxi-
mum compressive stress is −366.3 MPa occurring on the longitudinal beam near the impact side
corner fittings. The impact force produced by the transport vehicle is influenced by both the initial
clearance and initial velocity, i.e., its maximum value increases with the clearance or velocity, which
in turn directly affects the LNG impact force on the head, the tank container axial acceleration at the
mass center and the frame deformation and stress distribution. The largest average pressure
brought on by the LNG impact force is 8.83% of the design pressure, the inner vessel should be
designed with a thickness allowance. When the initial velocity is 8 km/h, the ratio of the maximum
LNG impact force to the static inertia force at each clearance is less than 0.23, which means that the
calculation method of LNG static inertia force is conservative. In addition, the maximum axial ac-
celeration of the tank container can reach 63 m/s 2, greater than 4g inertial acceleration specified in
the container design standard, meaning if assessed by the impact, the specifications of the standard
are not conservative.

impacted the ground using the ALE method and contrasted the effects of adding an anti-
wave plate. In their study of the nonlinear oscillation in the container, Nasar et al. [6] dis-
covered that the excitation frequency has an impact on wave height. Liu et al. [7] studied
the liquid sloshing in the rectangular tank, and then verified the numerical simulation
results with experimental methods. In order to explore the liquid sloshing during braking,
Kang et al. [8] employed the VOF model. They also examined the stress on the tank con-
tainer under various liquid filling ratios K and various wave plate areas. The work of nu-
merical simulations regarding the dynamic behavior of the container under impact load-
ing was given by Cao et al. [9]. Ibrahim [10] discussed the nonlinear liquid sloshing dy-
namics under sway and rotational excitations for various container geometries, together
with the dimensionless factors influencing the construction of small-scale models, and ex-
amined the liquid sloshing evaluation of liquefied natural gas tanks. The critical baffle
height, at which liquid never reaches the tank’s ceiling at any point, was discovered by
Jung et al. [11] after they numerically examined the impact of the vertical baffle height on
the sloshing of liquid in a laterally moving 3D tank. Through a new approach based on
the coupling strategy of smoothed finite element method (SFEM) and an enhanced version
of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) delivering superior accuracy, Zhang et al. [12]
computationally evaluated the sloshing mitigation utilizing elastic baffles. The numerical
study by Sauer [13] compared two different numerical approaches that are both imple-
mented in a research hydrocode: a pure Lagrangian discretization with Finite Elements
(FE) and element erosion, and a coupled adaptive FE/SPH discretization. The study sim-
ulated projectile impacts on fluid-filled containers. In a partially filled laminated compo-
site container, the non-linear motion of the liquid free surface caused by sloshing and the
accompanying coupling caused by the fluid-structure interaction effect were the main top-
ics of Pal et al. [14]’s study. A straightforward equivalent mass-spring model developed
by Reed et al. [15] predicts the typical pulse duration and pressure distribution on the
vessel walls throughout the impact test. By extending the semi-analytical scaled boundary
finite element method (SBFEM), which makes use of the benefits of both the boundary
element (BEM) and finite element methods, Wang et al. [16] developed a method to study
the effect of various baffles on liquid oscillations in partially filled rigid toroidal tanks
(FEM). Tiernan et al. [17] studied the statically and dynamically finite element modeling
of the tank container for road and rail environments. A new modular tank and frame were
developed and constructed using the FEA results. In order to explore the non-linear dy-
namic behavior of partially filled tank vehicles under large-amplitude liquid sloshing, Dai
et al. [18] introduced a novel methodology. Analysis and comparison of the non-linear
dynamic behaviors of the tank vehicle subjected to liquid sloshing and the excitations pro-
duced by uneven roads was carried out. Li et al. [19] devised a numerical technique for
estimating the impact pressure based on the contact algorithm on the backdrop grid and
extended the material point method (MPM) to handle the dynamic behavior of liquid
sloshing in a moving container. To explore liquid sloshing with low liquid depth, Wu et
al. [20] carried out a series of tests encompassing the lowest three natural frequencies of
rolling coupled pitching. Kim [21] simulated the sloshing flow in two-dimensional and
three-dimensional liquid containers using the finite difference method. Experimental, an-
alytical and numerical studies of the perforation process were conducted by Bendarma et
al. [22] to investigate the ballistic characteristics of aluminum alloys at different tempera-
tures and dynamic loading. The results show that the energy absorbed during perforation
is quasiconstant for the studied range of velocities (up to 121 m/s) and using conical
shaped projectile, the average value was 26 J at room temperature and decreased to the
average of 18 J at 300 ˚C. Kpenyigba et al. [23] analyzed the process of perforation of steel
sheet based on different projectile nose shape, finding the ballistic limit and failure modes
for each kind of projectile. In addition, a non-linear increase in the ballistic limit with
thickness of the plate was noticed and a decrease in the numbers of petals with the conical
projectile angle was observed. Bendarma et al. [24] studied tensile tests and the process of
perforation of aluminum alloy AW5005 sheets based on experimental, analytical and
Appl. Sci. 2023, 13, 1351 3 of 17
numerical methods. In addition, different failure criteria were discussed, coupling numer-
ical and experimental analyses for a wide range of strain rates.
It was found from above review that few studies were addressed on the impact of
large LNG tank containers for trains. However, in engineering, the capacity to endure
railway impact has been considered as a design and quality control criterion for tank con-
tainers. In this paper, impact process of a large LNG tank container for trains was studied
by performing experiments and numerical simulations. Impact force with induced stress
and deformation on the container especially on the frame was investigated and LNG
sloshing inside the container was simulated.
2. Experiment Measurement
2.1. Structure of the Studied Tank Container
As shown in Figure 1, the inner and outer vessels, eight support rings, and frame
make up the majority of the tank container. Eight support rings link the inner vessel
(which holds the LNG) with the outer vessel, and the jacket is vacuumed to stop heat
transmission. The frame’s dimensions are 12192 mm × 2438 mm × 2591 mm (L × W × H),
and the volume is 45.75 m3 with a 2425 mm outer vessel diameter. Table 1 lists the main
design parameters of the tank container.
To measure stress, several strain gauges were installed on the tank container, partic-
ularly on the frame. When the impact vehicle’s initial velocity is 6.1 km/h, it is discovered
that measuring point A28 on the longitudinal beam, near the corner fitting of the impact
side, as shown in Figure 3a, has the largest compressive stress, with a maximum value of
−366.3 MPa and a direction parallel to the impact direction. The variation in the stress at
A28 over time is seen in Figure 3b. It can be seen that the impact has a significant effect on
the frame, which lead to a peak compressive stress at A28. The impact vehicle’s collision
effect is continually weakened as a result of the continuous energy consumption of MT-2
buffers, and the stress fluctuation at A28 decreases gradually.

3. Numerical Simulations
The finite element method was employed to simulate the above impact test using the
explicit dynamic software LS-DYNA (MPP, R10.1.0).
The Null model algorithm was used to explain the fluid’s flow properties, while the
control equations of the ALE were used to represent the fluid. The related Gruesien equa-
tion of state is further attached for resolution. The following is the Gruesien equation of
state:

where C is the intercept of the s (shock wave velocity)- p (particle velocity) curve (in
velocity units); E is internal energy per unit volume; S1, S2, and S3 are the unitless coeffi-
cients of the slope of the curve; 0 is the unitless Gruneisen coefficient; a is the unitless,
first order volume correction to 0 ; and,

where the relationship of 0 with volume expansion coefficient , specific heat capac-

The fluid structure interaction was realized by the penalty function method. Accord-
ing to the relative displacement, node forces are applied to the structure and the fluid, as
shown in Figure 4, when the fluid particle passes through the structural element. Volume
Fraction Initialization (VFI) was used to establish the boundary of the initial fluid material.

where is nominal stress; is nominal strain; S is true stress; e is true strain. The true
stress-strain curve is obtained by transforming the nominal stress-strain curve using
Equations 5 and 6. For the yielding phase, the discontinuity of the yielding process is elim-
inated by selecting specific data points after the transformation [26].
Table 2 lists more structural material properties. Table 3 lists the material properties
of LNG with data referencing Refprop, a specialist program for cryogenic physical prop-
erties. The force-displacement curve was given to simulate the mechanical performance
of the buffer using the experimental data [28]. The MT-2 buffer is characterized by a non-
linear increase in force with increasing compression distance during loading, and very
little during unloading, as shown in Figure 6.

The buffer was meshed using Spring elements (Combi165, 2 nodes), while other com-
ponents were meshed using solid elements (Solid164, 8 nodes) with sweep method. The
ELFORM = −1 and ELFORM = 11 algorithms were assigned to solids and fluids element,
respectively. Figure 8 shows the mesh model. There are 2516583 nodes and 1,954,231 ele-
ments that make up the tank container model. The fluid domain contains a total of 577,304
elements.

Only the inner vessel finite element model was built and filled with 50% of the volume
of LNG, constraining all of the translational degrees of freedom of the outer surface of the
inner vessel, in order to verify the reasonableness of the fluid-solid coupling contact parame-
ters. When the theoretical value of the axial force of LNG on the head is compared to the sim-
ulation, the error is only discovered to be 2.2%. After the verification, the contact parameters
were decided. The following formula was used to calculate the theoretical value:

Figure 15 shows the relationship between the F1 and the relative location between the
twist lock and the corner fitting. When the relative locations are between −8 and 0 mm,
separation occurs, and when they are outside of that range, collision happens.

Figure 15. Relationship between the F1 and the relative location between the twist lock and corner
fittings.
As can be seen from Figure 16, when the initial velocity is 8 km/h, the different initial
clearance led to different velocities when the transport vehicle just collides with the corner
fitting, which in turn affects the different magnitudes of the equal velocities and ultimately
causes the different magnitudes of the first peak of F1.
Figure 16. Relationship between the F1 and the velocity of the transport vehicle and tank container
(a) at 2 mm initial clearance; (b) at 6 mm initial clearance.
When the initial velocity is 8 km/h, Figure 17 shows the variation of the LNG impact
force with time on the impact side head (back head) at different initial clearance. It can be
seen that the back head is repeatedly impacted by the LNG at each initial clearance, re-
sulting in multiple peak forces (such as A–D), and the maximum increases with the in-
crease in initial clearance from −1.12×105 N at 0 mm to −2.10×105 N at 8 mm. In fact, the
variation in LNG impact force is brought on by the F1. However, although the F1 changes
sharply between positive and negative, the LNG impact force must remain negative. As
in magnitude, the former is much larger than the latter. Figure 17d shows the variation in
LNG free surface at different peak impact force times (split along the longitudinal sym-
metry plane). LNG separates from the front head and upwells along the back head as a
result of inertia. LNG starts to surge along the axial direction of the tank container and
upwell along the front head when it reaches the top of the inner vessel.

When the initial velocity is 8 km/h, Figure 18 shows the variation of the tank con-
tainer axial acceleration at the mass center over time at different initial clearance. The
maximum acceleration in direct relation to the initial clearance, from 35.4 m/s 2 at 0 mm to
63 m/s2 at 8 mm. It is noted that the maximum acceleration is greater than 4g inertial ac-
celeration specified in the Chinese standard NB/T 47059-2017 Tank containers for refrig-
erated liquefied gas for the design of tank containers, which means if assessed by the im-
pact, the specifications of the standard are not conservative. In addition, as observed at
locations A, B, and C in the Figure 18b, the acceleration has started to decrease before the
peak value of F1 as F2 gradually approaches to the peak value.

different initial clearance; (b) relationship with the F1, F2 and friction force between corner fittings
and the transport vehicle.

The average pressure pav brought on by the LNG impact force on the back head is:
Fmax
pav = (8)
r2
where Fmax is the maximum LNG impact force; r is the inner radius of the inner vessel.
The static inertial force F is:
F = ma (9)
where m is LNG mass; a is the inertial acceleration. F is calculated as 1.42 × 104 N when
the LNG filling percentage is 90%. Table 5 lists the results of the calculation of each varia-
ble at initial velocity of 8 km/h.
The data show that the largest average pressure is 0.053 MPa, or 8.83% of the 0.6 MPa
design pressure. The inner vessel should be designed with a thickness allowance to ac-
count for the influence of LNG impact force. When the initial velocity is 8 km/h, the max-
imum LNG impact force on the back head is much more than the hydrostatic force, and
the ratio of the maximum to the static inertia force at each clearance is less than 0.23, which
means that the calculation method of LNG static inertia force is conservative.

tionship with the LNG impact force; (b) location of three peak displacements.

Figure 24 shows the distribution at the peak value 5, which is produced by the negative
peak impact force. The negative impact force intensifies the tensile stress state at the chamfer.
3. Although stage C do not have F1, the maximum Mises stress is larger than the maximum
Mises stress at stage A because of the residual stress at the chamfer. Stage D’s F1 is low
and has little effect on the stress distribution.

Figure 25 shows the axial displacement of the frame and outer vessel at the first peak of
F1. It is clear that the frame maximum axial displacement occurs at the corner fitting on the
impact side and then gradually decreases in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.
The relative deformation of the A-A1, B-B1, and C-C1 varies in accordance with the F1 alternat-
ing positive and negative variations. At the first peak of F1, there is a 3.39 mm maximum rela-
tive deformation.

5. Conclusions
By performing the experiments and numerical simulations, impact process of a large
LNG tank container for trains was investigated in this study. Conclusions are obtained as
follows:
1. The impact process of a large LNG tank container for trains was conducted experi-
mentally and stresses on the container especially on the frame were measured with
time. For the initial velocity of 6.1 km/h, the maximum compressive stress is −366.3
MPa occurring on the longitudinal beam near the impact side corner fittings.
2. The impact force produced by the transport vehicle is influenced by both the initial
clearance and initial velocity, i.e., its maximum value increases with the clearance or
velocity, which in turn directly affects the LNG impact force on the head, the tank
container axial acceleration at the mass center and the frame deformation and stress
distribution. This result is valuable for the design of the corner fittings and frames of
the container.
3. The largest average pressure brought on by the LNG impact force is 0.053 MPa, or
8.83% of the 0.6 MPa design pressure, so the inner vessel should be designed with a
thickness allowance. When the initial velocity is 8 km/h, the ratio of the maximum
LNG impact force on the back head to the static inertia force at each clearance is less
than 0.23, which means that the calculation method of LNG static inertia force is con-
servative. This result may be helpful for the design of the thickness of container.
4. When the initial velocity is 8 km/h and the initial clearance is 8 mm, the maximum
axial acceleration of the tank container is 63 m/s2, greater than 4g inertial acceleration
specified in the container design standard, meaning if assessed by the impact, the
specifications of the standard are not conservative. This conclusion may provide ref-
erence for the editing or revision of the container design standard.
