Direct assessment of LNG cargo containment system under sloshing loads.

The article discusses research which assessed the liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo containment system (CCS) under sloshing loads. Topics discussed include the direct assessment procedure for the sloshing capacity, the dry drop test of LNG CCS, tensile test for failure criteria and choosing the proper foam material model to analyze the exact behavior of the LNG CCS under the impact load.
