Özet

The effects of a rigid baffle on the seismic response of liquid in a rigid cylindrical tank are presented. A baffle is an additional structural element which supplies a kind of passive control on the effects of earthquake motion. Fluid motion is assumed to be irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. The method of superposition of modes has been implemented to compute the seismic response. The boundary element method is used to evaluate the natural modes of liquid in a cylindrical tank. Linearized free surface conditions have been taken into consideration. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
