Abstract: Energy dissipation due to sloshing liquid in rigid torus shaped containers is studied using the potential flow model in conjunction with the boundary layer correction. The analysis is based on ...

Abstract: Experiments designed to evaluate performance of partially filled torus shaped nutation dampers, undergoing steady-state forced excitation in translational motion, are described. The forces exerted ...

Abstract: The paper studies in detail the time history of formation, evolution, and instability of the vortex ring, associated with a family of spheres in the Reynolds number range of 30–2000 and with ...

Abstract: The paper presents results of an extensive test program aimed at better understanding of unsteady aerodynamics and vortex induced oscillations of a family of two dimensional elliptic cylinders ...

Abstract: Vibration characteristics associated with a deploying spacecraft appendage in an arbitrary orbit are investigated numerically. In the beginning a rather general formulation of the problem is ...

Abstract: Wake-body interactions for a two-dimensional structural angle member during stationary and vortex induced oscillatory conditions are studied using a conventional low turbulence wind tunnel. The ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the dynamics of a drifting buoy-cable-array assembly used in submarine detection. The steady-state configurations of the three-dimensional cable and flexible legs are determined. ...

Abstract: A potential flow model is presented for two-dimensional symmetrical bluff bodies under wall confinement. It provides a procedure for predicting surface loading on a bluff body over a range of ...

Abstract: The paper investigates statics and dynamics of neutrally buoyant inflated viscoelastic tapered cantilevers used as structural members in underwater platforms. In the beginning, the static flexural ...
