Experimental findings of the suppression of rotary sloshing on the dynamic response of a liquid storage tank

D Hernandez-Hernandez, T Larkin, N Chouw… - Journal of Fluids and …, 2020 - Elsevier
In liquid storage tanks, rotary sloshing occurs when the frequency of the lateral harmonic
load is near the lowest frequency of the tank–liquid system. Rotary sloshing is a type of …

Lid induced sloshing suppression and evaluation of wall stresses in a liquid storage tank including seismic soil‐structure interaction

D Hernandez‐Hernandez, T Larkin… - … & Structural Dynamics, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Aboveground liquid storage tanks are often found on weak compressive soil due to their
proximity to harbours and rivers. These soil conditions lead to a high probability of significant …

Impact of the excitation frequencies on wall stresses in a storage tank

D Hernandez-Hernandez, T Larkin, N Chouw - Engineering Structures, 2021 - Elsevier
This research addresses the experimentally determined relationship between the excitation
frequency and both hoop and axial wall stresses in an upright water storage tank. A low …
