Abstract
Engineering problems dealing with the dynamic behavior
of fluid-structure systems are generally rich in nonlinearities.
Advances in both computational software and hardware
have made it possible to seek solutions for such nonlinear
engineering applications. This paper outlines the use of
computational methods for the nonlinear dynamic analysis
of one class of fluid retaining structures. Sample problems
discussed include the nonlinear free-surface large-amplitude
sloshing in rectangular tanks caused by earthquake disturbances,
the contact nonlinearities occurring in unanchored
cylindrical tanks which lift off their foundation under seismic
excitations, and the geometric and material nonlinearities in
structures containing liquid such as ground-based and elevated
tanks.
