Abstract: Mechanical models of damped lowgravity sloshing are developed using a proposed analytical method for arbitrary axisymmetric tanks. It is shown that (a) the complex amplitudes of the force and moment caused by the conventional ...

Abstract: The vibration of pipes supported by a flexible tank wall is analyzed taking into account the hydroelastic vibration of the tank and the nonlinearity caused by the support clearances. Because the support clearances increase ...

Abstract: A semianalytical method to examine the influences of the axial variations in the tube vibration amplitude and flow velocity on the critical flow velocity is investigated. We illustrate that neglecting the axial variation ...

Abstract: The vibrations of pipes and their supporting beams caused by the tank bulging mode are analyzed. A computationally efficient semianalytical approach is presented by introducing a local velocity potential for each pipe and ...

Abstract: The vibration of a large tank caused by an explosion that occurs at a place apart from the tank is analyzed. Because the tank is doublewalled and the liquid is contained in the inner shell, the vibration of the outer shell ...
