Propellant sloshing may be caused by bending of space vehicle that exhibits low structural frequencies; forces and moments exerted by oscillating propellant on tank are determined due to forced bending excitation for liquid in circular, cylindrical, ring sector tank with free fluid surface; as is expected, force and moment of liquid increase sharply at resonant frequencies of propellant; maximum dynamic effects occur when free fluid surface is located in vicinity of point of maximum bending displacement.
