Structural analysis and environmental performance of reusable military storage tents: Wind resistance and humidity control

The article presents the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of storing system dedicated for special purpose equipment.Requirements for storage systems and effective techniques for protection against external factors that limit corrosion are described.A reusable storage tent was tested under varying weather conditions, with temperature and humidity resistance using the developed measuring equipment.The importance of the strength analysis of the tent structure exposed to the destructive effects of wind was indicated.Structural performance was investigated through numerical simulations of wind gusts reaching 120 km/h, conducted using the finite element method with the LS-DYNA software package.The simulations incorporated detailed modelling and material properties derived from the MatWeb database.The structural limitations of the tested tent are discussed as well as potential improvements are indicated.
