As the stress of the frame, especially the bottom side rail supports and bottom inclined supports, of a traditional LNG tank container could be significantly greater than its allowable stress, and the container cannot meet the strength requirement of the specification when it is impacted by a transport vehicle during railway transportation, three improved frame structures were suggested, which removed or changed the side rails or bottom inclined supports; the stress and deformation of these improved frames and the tank container were analyzed using the finite element method under the impact test. The results show that all three improved frames can meet the strength requirement, i.e., the maximum Mises stress is less than the allowable stress and the deformation requirement of the diagonal length difference is less than the allowable value, meaning that the tank containers with improved frames can pass the impact test. Moreover, for the FRP support rings and impact side heads, although the maximum values are different, they are still less than the respective allowable stresses. In addition, the maximum value of the middle cross section of the outer vessel in the direction of gravity does not increase with the change in the frame, and the deformation of the outer vessel remains within the elastic range. Therefore, the improvements of the frames have little effect on the stress and deformation of the other components of the tank container, in particular, the inner vessel and outer vessel. Compared to the frame of the traditional tank container, removing the side rails partially or completely can reduce the weight of the frame by 17.99% and 38.34%, respectively, greatly reducing manufacturing and transportation costs. It can also reduce the maximum Mises stress by 38.89% and 39.24% and the maximum diagonal difference by 57.95% and 61.16%.
