Abstract

The direct assessment of sloshing capacities for a liquefied natural gas cargo containment system (LNG CCS) has been established in Chun et al. (2011). In this paper, the failure criterion is either the permanent deformation of LNG CCS or the crushing phenomenon of reinforced polyurethane foam (RPUF). However, those failure criteria are a little obscure to be defined objectively. To establish the exact failure criteria, in this paper, the tensile test has been carried out after the impact test. Through this result, the direct assessment secures the objective failure criterion.
