Abstract
In this study, we researched about characteristics of many kinds of tank cars for carrying hazard materials and performed structural strength evaluation using finite element analysis for tank of asphalt tank car to suggest the efficient analysis method that can develop accuracy regarding to characteristics of tank cars. For this, we analyzed the asphalt tank refer to JIS E 7102 (Design Method for Tanks of Tank Cars). As results, we could show that the maximum stress is applied at the area supported by saddle and the maximum stress is under a criterion suggested from JIS E 7102. Therefore we verified that this asphalt tank car had enough structural strength.
