In this study, the inertial properties of fully filled liquid in a tank were studied based on the potential theory. The analytic solution was obtained for the rectangular tank, and the numerical solutions using Green's 2nd identity were obtained for other shapes. The inertia of liquid behaves like solid in recti-linear acceleration. But under rotational acceleration, the moment of inertia of liquid becomes small compared to that of solid. The shapes of tank investigated in this study were ellipse, rectangle, hexagon, and octagon with various aspect ratios. The numerical solutions were compared with analytic solution, and an ad hoc semi-analytical approximate formula is proposed herein and this formula gives very good predictions for the moment of inertia of the liquid in a tank of several different geometrical shapes. The results of this study will be useful in analyzing of the motion of LNG/LPG tanker, liquid cargo ship, and damaged ship.

The aim of the study is to show the results of complex shaking table experimental investigation focused on the response of two models of cylindrical steel tanks under mining tremors and moderate earthquakes, including the aspects of diagnosis of structural damage. Firstly, the impact and the sweep-sine tests have been carried out, so as to determine the dynamic properties of models filled with different levels of liquid. Then, the models have been subjected to seismic and paraseismic excitations. Finally, one fully filled structure has been tested after introducing two different types of damages, so as to verify the method of damage diagnosis. The results of the impact and the sweep-sine tests show that filling the models with liquid leads to substantial reduction in natural frequencies, due to gradually increasing overall mass. Moreover, the results of sweep-sine tests clearly indicate that the increase in the liquid level results in significant increase in the damping structural ratio, which is the effect of damping properties of liquid due to its sloshing. The results of seismic and paraseismic tests indicate that filling the tank with liquid leads initially to considerable reduction in values of acceleration (damping effect of liquid sloshing); however, beyond a certain level of water filling, this regularity is inverted and acceleration values increase (effect of increasing total mass of the structure). Moreover, comparison of the responses under mining tremors and moderate earthquakes indicate that the power amplification factor of the mining tremors may be larger than the seismic power amplification factor. Finally, the results of damage diagnosis of fully filled steel tank model indicate that the forms of the Fourier spectra, together with the frequency and power spectral density values, can be directly related to the specific type of structural damage. They show a decrease in the natural frequencies for the model with unscrewed support bolts (global type of damage), while cutting the welds (local type of damage) has resulted in significant increase in values of the power spectral density for higher vibration modes.

강제 횡동요 실험을 통하여 동요하는 탱크의 내부압력을 폭정하고, 탱크의 내부압력을 추정하는 간단한 이론식을 제시하였다. 청수로 채워진 사각 탱크를 동요실험에 사용하였으며, 탱크의 안쪽 벽과 바닥에 압력게이지를 설치하여 내부압력의 시간변화량을 측정하였다. 측정된 탱크의 내부압력의 실험값과 이론식을 이용한 계산값을 비교하였다. 횡동요 하는 탱크내부의 압력을 구하기 위해 압력중심을 고려하여 추정하는 방법을 연구하였다.

사질로 이루어진 평탄한 경계면에서 수평입사각 (25°, 40°, 65°, 80°)에 따른 고주파(40∼120 kHz) 반사손실 측정 실험을 수조 내에서 수행하였다. 5×5×5 m 크기의 수조는 바닥을 두께가 0,5m 이고 평균입도가 0.5 ø인 사질 퇴적물로 채웠으며 퇴적층 경계면은 평탄하게 조성하였다. 측정된 주파수별 수평입사각에 따른 반사손실은 고주파 해저면 반사손실 모델인 APL-UW 모델 (Mourad & Jackson, 1989)과 비교하였다. 60 kHz 이하 주파수의 경우 모델과 실측치가 거의 일치하였으나 70 kHz 이상의 경우에는 주파수가 증가함에 따라 2∼3dB씩 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 70 kHz 이상의 경우 모델과 실측치 간의 차이는 모델에서 다루지 않는 거칠기 (입도)의 수직 크기 때문이며 고주파로 갈수록 산란이론의 레일리 인자 (Rayleigh parameter)의 값이 증가하여 거칠기에 의한 산란효과를 포함하기 때문이다. 따라서 평탄한 해저면일지라도 사질과 수층으로 이루어진 경계면에서의 반사손실모델은 입도분포의 신뢰구간 내에서 갖는 거칠기 영향에 의한 주파수의 종속성을 고려하여야한다.
