Abstract: The mechanism of the slip of a rectangular rigid body during free lift-off motion is investigated analytically and experimentally. Equations of motion of slipping rectangular rigid body during ...

Abstract: The rocking motion of the tanks is complex and not fully understood. Using model tanks that possess concentric rigid-doughnut-shaped bottom plates, this paper tries to clarify its fundamental ...

Abstract: To protect flat-bottom cylindrical tanks against severe damage from uplift motion, accurate evaluation of accompanying fluid pressures is indispensable. This paper presents a mathematical solution ...

Abstract: Although uplift motion of flat-bottom cylindrical shell tanks has been considered to contribute toward various damages to the tanks, the mechanics were not fully understood. As well as uplift ...
