HYDROELASTIC VIBRATIONS AND LIQUID SLOSHING SUPPRESSION IN A RECTANGULAR TANK WITH ELASTIC SPACER

摘要

In this paper, the couple vibration of liquid and elastic spacer in a rectangular tank is investigated. Two different velocity potential functions corresponding respectively to the liquid above and below the elastic spacer are assumed. Complicated boundary conditions corresponding to two velocity potential functions and vibrations of elastic spacer are given. Using the method of energy, the equation of couple frequency is obtained. Through numerical computation the natural frequencies that change according to the location and stiffness of the spacer are shown.
