What are the differences in failure modes between tower vessels and vertical vessels?

What are the differences in failure modes between tower vessels and vertical vessels? I would appreciate some advice from fellow sailors.
Failure mode? ! The failure modes are all the same
Could the original poster please explain the basis for this? Looking forward to an answer.
Let’s first think about the two concepts: failure modes and failure forms The pattern you ask about is definitely the same in every case; there’s no difference at all
Strength, stiffness, and stability failures of vertical vessels in pressure vessels also occur in tower vessels. Or plasticity, elastoplasticity, shear deformation. It should be the same.
What are the differences in those failure modes? Looking forward to your reply.
I just think there are always some support rings inside the tower, which should play some role; I’m not sure whether these need to be taken into account when doing the calculations
Compared to vertical vessels, towers are generally taller and have a higher slenderness ratio; they are usually located outdoors and are subject to significant wind loads. Periodic and random wind loads can pose risks such as fatigue, excessive deformation, or even failure. Vertical vessels are less affected by these issues
