Numerical Investigation Into Significant Reduction in Coefficient of Restitution for Fluid-Container Combined Systems

説明

<jats:p>The analysis procedure of rocking motion of unanchored flat-bottom cylindrical shell tanks should include an impact problem between the tank bottom plate and tank foundation. To evaluate the rocking motion of tanks based on a simple analytical procedure developed by a senior author, adequate estimation of a coefficient of restitution is necessary. This paper numerically examines the coefficient of restitution suitable for the fluid-container combined system used in such simple analysis procedure. Employing free rocking motion, an empty container and fluid-container combined system are computed. The velocity vectors of the empty container turn their direction simultaneously just after the uplifted edge hits the ground, while those of the fluid-container combined system need a time to turn their direction. This implies that the coefficient of restitution should be evaluated with effects of fluid stored in the tank.</jats:p>
