Abstract: The radial oscillations of multiple gas bubbles in an incompressible liquid bounded by plane solid or free surfaces are analyzed. Derivation of the normal mode frequencies and mode shapes of ...

Abstract: A perturbation analysis of fluid-structure interactions in a model test system of controlled flexibility excited by a complex hydrodynamic transient is presented. The analysis demonstrates the ...

Abstract: In the companion paper, Joos and Huber (1987) have developed an analysis that applies to certain types of systems in which a hydrodynamic transient creates pressure forces dependent on the ...

Abstract: A complex hydrodynamic transient due, for example, to the injection of gas into a liquid, creates pressure forces on adjacent structures. These structures, together with gas cavities in the ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted in a laboratory scale system to investigate fluid structure interaction effects on hydrodynamically induced boundary pressure histories. A single flexible member—a clamped ...

Abstract: Theoretical estimates are presented for the impulse generated by the collapse of a steam bubble trapped by a column of subcooled liquid in a pipe. Predictions are compared with experimental ...
