Abstract The nonlinear coupled vibrations of an elastic structure and liquid sloshing in a rectangular tank, partially filled with liquid, are investigated. The structure containing the tank is vertically subjected to a sinusoidal excitation. In the theoretical analysis, the resonance curves for the responses of the structure and liquid surface are presented by the harmonic balance method, when the natural frequency of the structure is equal to twice the natural frequency of one of the sloshing modes. From the theoretical analysis, the following predictions have been obtained: (a) Due to the nonlinearity of the fluid force, harmonic oscillations appear in the structure, while subharmonic oscillations occur on the liquid surface, (b) the shapes of the resonance curves markedly change depending on the liquid depth, and (c) when the detuning condition is slightly deviated, almost periodic oscillations and chaotic oscillations appear at certain intervals of the excitation frequency. These were qualitatively in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract The nonlinear coupled vibrations of an elastic structure and liquid sloshing in a cylindrical tank are investigated. When the structure is vertically subjected to a sinusoidal excitation, and when the natural frequency of the structure is equal to twice the natural frequency of the first axisymmetric mode of sloshing, modal equations governing the coupled motions are derived. Then, the theoretical resonance curves are presented by using the method of harmonic balance and an FFT analysis. As a result, it is demonstrated that the resonance curve for the structure changes from a shape with a peak to a flat shape as the liquid level decreases. It is also clarified that amplitude-modulated motions appear when the tuning condition is deviated. In experiments, theoretical resonance curves were qualitatively in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract This study addresses the sloshing characteristics of a liquid contained in a tank with a vertical baffle mounted at the bottom of the tank. Liquid sloshing characteristics are studied through an analytical solution procedure based on the linear velocity potential theory. The tank is forced to sway horizontally and periodically, while the baffle is fixed to the tank or rolling around a hinged point. The rectangular tank flow field is divided into a few sub-domains. The potentials are solved by a separate variable method, and the boundary conditions and matching requirements between adjacent sub-domains are used to determine the sole solution. The free surface elevations with no baffle or a low fixed baffle are compared with those in published data, and the correctness and reliability of the present method are verified. Then the baffle is forced to rotate around the bottom-mounted point. It is found that the baffle’s motion, including the magnitude and the phase together, can be adjusted to suppress the free surface elevation, and even the sloshing wave can be almost eliminated.
