Abstract
A hen׳s egg seems to have evolved to efficiently dissipate energy to protect its embryo using sloshing of its liquid content. Hence, the potential to implement the egg׳s unique properties as a sloshing absorber for structural control, is the main focus of this study. Numerical simulations, using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), and experimental comparisons are presented in this paper. One objective is to demonstrate the ability of SPH to simulate complex free surface behaviour in three dimensions. Such a tool is then useful to identify different dissipation modes. Effects of fill volume and viscosity on the rate of dissipation, are also investigated.
