Axisymmetrical Vibrations, of Tanks—Analytical

Assessment of Classical Numerical Models for the Separate Fluid-Structure Modal Analysis

“…This kind of singularity occurs also when one tries to analytically solve the bulging natural frequencies of liquid-storage tanks. A representative example is given in the work by Haroun et al [5].…”

“…Among the research on theoretical estimation of added-masses are those by Gupta [1], Chopra and Hall [2], Housner [3] and Haroun [4,5]. On the other hand, Zienkiewicz et al [6], Tedesco et al [7,8] and Rajasankar et al [9] presented "nite element approximations for added-mass matrices.…”

Stability of elevated liquid-filled conical tanks under seismic loading, Part I—theory

“…Surfaces S , S and S are as shown in Figure 3. The boundary condition given by equation (8) implies that the dynamic pressure at the surface S (z"0) does not vary with the co-ordinates r and . It is clear from the set of equations above that the fluid hydrodynamic pressure P depends on the acceleration of the walls of the tank.…”

Equivalent mechanical model for seismic forces in combined tanks subjected to vertical earthquake excitation

“…In 1984, Veletsos and Kumar [7] developed a simplified procedure to evaluate the effect of vertical shaking on liquid-storage cylindrical tanks. Haroun and Tayel [8,9] investigated the impact of the vertical component of a ground excitation on the response of cylindrical tanks. A design procedure for evaluating the response of fixed and partly fixed cylindrical tanks to vertical excitation was proposed by Veletsos and Tang [10].…”
