Popis: This article focuses on the reliability analysis of a welded cylindrical tank, which is used for the storage of crude oil. The dominant load case is loading of the inner shell by hydrostatic pressure of the crude oil. Stochastic sensitivity analysis was used to study the effect of the variability of the thickness of the ith course on the stress state of adjacent courses. The computational model was developed in the programme ANSYS. Meshing was performed using SHELL181 elements. The Latin Hypercube Sampling method was implemented during analysis. Sensitivity analysis based on the evaluation of the correlation between the random plate thicknesses and the stress state was performed.
