Description

Current work presents an approach in CAD modeling of a particular toroidal LPG fuel tank with variable square cross-section used in automotive industry, followed by a state of stress and linear deformation analysis. The CAD modeling can be used for a better understanding of design requirements of toroidal LPG fuel tanks and improving designs. (paper)
