Abstract

Oscillations of a tank at a near-resonant frequency have been shown to produce a response which changes from a ‘hard-spring’ to a ‘soft-spring’ response as the depth passes through a critical value. This paper investigates the transition region and it is shown, using a symbolic manipulator, that in fact the large-amplitude response is that of a soft spring on either side of this critical depth.
