Tanks containing liquid propellants for rocket engines can be considered as shells whose thin walls are surfaces of revolution. Such surfaces result from a plane curve which rotates about some straight line lying in the plane which contains the curve. The structural analysis of tanks is presented here by using Roark’s formulas for stress and strain. Loads due to propellant sloshing and slosh-suppression devices are also discussed.
