We consider the problem of the active reduction of structural vibrations of a plane wing induced by the sloshing of large masses of fuel inside partly full tank. This study focuses on an experimental device composed of an aluminum rectangular plate equipped with piezoelectric patches at the clamped end and with a cylindrical tip-tank, more or less filled with liquid at the opposite free end. Th...

Vibration of a floating roof in cases tube and foam seals has been analyzed by ANSYS. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) sloshing phenomenon have considered. Modal responses, time waves frequency spectrums the vibrations two sealing were evaluated during horizontal seismic excitation tank base. Then, effects main mechanical factors seal on vibration investigated. The amplitude case was considera...

In this paper the role of solid nonlinearity on fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is studied. First a simple mass-spring-damper system with third-degree spring coupled linear sloshing to study effect nonlinearity. It shows that even both systems show similar behavior in free vibration tests, but caused 50% less amplitude vibration. Then higher order tuned liquid damper which modeled by boundary...

We present the results of an extensive series of experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and models that address horizontal shaking of a layer of granular material. The goal of this work was to better understand the transition between the "fluid" and "solid" states of granular materials. In the experiments, the material-consisting of glass spheres, smooth and rough sand-was contained in a ...

The dynamic responses of a concrete rectangular liquid storage tank on the surface rigid soil subjected to three-directional earthquake ground motion are investigated with material nonlinearity taken into consideration. Material in is considered using damage plasticity model. hydrodynamic pressure due finite-element solution governing equation for an inviscid and incompressible ideal fluid flui...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational technique for the numerical simulation of the equations of fluid dynamics without the use of an underlying numerical mesh. Although originally developed for use in astrophysical gas dynamics, SPH has recently been applied to many other areas of numerical fluid dynamics and materials modelling, several of which have particular relevance to...

The thrust vector control problem for an upper-stage rocket with propellant slosh dynamics is considered. The control inputs are defined by the gimbal deflection angle of a main engine and a pitchingmoment about the center of mass of the spacecraft. The rocket acceleration due to themain engine thrust is assumed to be large enough so that surface tension forces do not significantly affect the p...

The double-row and double-chamfered aquaculture tank is a special structure of the ship. sloshing this coupled with hull motion, which has an important impact on safety motion. In present study, research motion response ships was conducted based model seakeeping tests in regular waves. test results were compared numerical simulation solid loading without sloshing. showed that pitch consistent a...
