Abstract: A simplified procedure for computing the dynamic response of flexible tanks containing two liquids under a lateral base motion of arbitrary temporal variation is proposed. It requires the input of ground acceleration in ...

Abstract: A simple effective control algorithm, free from the problem of time delay, is proposed. It is a closed-open loop control. The control force is applied to the structure at the current time to cancel the portion of the system ...

Abstract: The equation for calculating the normal modes of a uniform beam under transverse free vibration involves the hyperbolic sine and cosine functions. These functions are exponential growing without bound. Tables for the natural ...

Abstract: A study on the dynamic response of upright circular cylindrical liquid‐storage tanks containing two different liquids under a horizontal base motion with an arbitrary temporal variation is presented. Only rigid tanks were ...

Abstract: A study of the dynamic responses of flexible tanks containing nonuniform liquid under horizontal base excitations is presented. The system considered is an upright, circular cylindrical tank filled with an incompressible ...

Abstract: A study of the dynamic characteristics of rigidly supported upright circular cylindrical tanks containing two different liquids is presented. The governing differential equations for the tank—two‐liquid system are obtained ...

Abstract: A simple effective algorithm for active structural control is proposed. It applies the control force at every time step, minimizing the system energy that is carried over from one time step to the next. The control force ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the cyclic behavior of steel-fiber-reinforced composite bars (SFCBs) with different slenderness ratios. Twenty-four specimens, including SFCB specimens and corresponding inner ...
