Figure 1.1 Problem geometry
Tank dimensions:
height: \(\text{H}=0.3048\text{m}\)
mean radius: \(\text{R}=0.076073\text{m}\)
shell thickness: \(\text{e}=0.254\times {10}^{-3}\text{m}\)
The free surface is located at ordinate \(Z=\text{H}\). It is perpendicular to the \(Z\) axis.
1.2. Material properties#
The properties of the fluid filling the cavity are as follows:
Sound speed |
\({c}_{F}=1400{\text{m.s}}^{-1}\) |
Density |
\({\rho }_{F}=1000{\text{kg.m}}^{-3}\) |
The properties of the shell are as follows:
Young’s module |
\(E=2.06\times {10}^{11}\text{Pa}\) |
Poisson’s Ratio |
\(\nu =0.3\) |
Density |
\({\rho }_{S}=7850.0{\text{kg.m}}^{-3}\) |
