Abstract: Previous research indicates that if layered sand deposits are liquefied during earthquakes, water films are likely to develop beneath less permeable sublayers and lead to the destabilization of sloping ground. In Niigata ...

Abstract: The evaluation methodologies for the flow-induced vibration instability of a long flexible rod due to axial leakage-flow are reported. In the previous papers, the axisymmetric rods are regarded ...

Abstract: Hysteresis elements such as elasto-plastic dampers are important for mechanical structures. They have nonlinearities and thus the vibration characteristics of mechanical structures with hysteresis ...

Abstract: Hysteresis elements such as elasto-plastic dampers are important elements for mechanical structures, especially for earthquake-proof structures. When such nonlinear supports are utilized for piping ...

Abstract: In this paper, the stability of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to axial leakage flow is discussed. In this paper, the second part of a study of the axial leakage flow-induced vibration ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of vibration tests using a 1/10 reduced scale model of large-scale cylindrical water storage tanks to clarify their dynamic behavior under seismic excitation. ...
