This paper deals with the mathematical study of the small motions of a system formed by a cylindrical liquid column bounded by two parallel circular rings and an internal cylindrical column constituted by a barotropic gas under zero gravity. From the equations of motion, the authors deduce a variational equation. Then, the study of the small oscillations depends on the coerciveness of a hermitian form that appears in this equation. It is proved that this last problem is reduced to an auxiliary eigenvalues problem. The discussion shows that, under a simple geometric condition, the problem is a classical vibration problem.

The problem of the small oscillations of an ideal liquid contained in a vessel in uniform rotation has been studied by Kopachevskii and Krein in the case of an entirely rigid vessel [3]. We propose here, a generalization of this model by considering the case of a vessel closed by an elastic circular plate. In this context, the linearized equations of motion of the system plateliquid are derived. Functional analysis is used to obtain a variational equation of the small amplitude vibrations of the coupled system around its equilibrium position, and then two operatorial equations in a suitable Hilbert space are presented and analyzed. We show that the spectrum of the system is real and consists of a countable set of eigenvalues and an essential continuous spectrum filling an interval. Finally the existence and uniqueness theorem for the solution of the associated evolution problem is proved by means the semigroups theory.


Helmholtz was the first to remark on the instability of those “liquid surfaces” which separate portions of fluid moving with different velocities, and Kelvin, in investigating the influence of wind on waves in water, supposed frictionless, has discussed the conditions under which a plane surface of water becomes unstable. Adopting Kelvin’s method, Rayleigh investigated the instability of a surface of discontinuity. A clear and easily accessible rendering of the discussion is given by Lamb. The above investigations are conducted upon the well-known principle of “small oscillations”—there is a basic steady motion, upon which is superposed a flow, the squares of whose components of velocity can be neglected. This method has the advantage of making the equations of motion linear. If by this method the flow is found to be stable, the equations of motion give the subsequent history of the system, for the small oscillations about the steady state always remain “small.” If, however, the method indicates that the system is unstable, that is, if the deviations from the steady state increase exponentially with the time, the assumption of small motions cannot, after an appropriate interval of time, be applied to the case under consideration, and the equations of motion, in their approximate form, no longer give a picture of the flow. For this reason, which is well known, the investigations of Rayleigh only prove the existence of instability during the initial stages of the motion. It is the object of this note to investigate the form assumed by the surface of discontinuity when the displacements and velocities are no longer small.

Our paper realizes a study of the vibrations of an engine excited by a harmonic force and sustained by four identical neo-Hookean springs of negligible masses. The considered model is one with three degrees of freedom (one translation and two rotations) and we obtain for it the equations of motion. Using these equations, we determine for the unexcited system the equilibrium positions and their stability. We also study the small oscillations about the stable equilibrium positions and we find the fundamental eigenpulsations of the system. For the case of the excited system we perform a numerical study considering the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is far away from the eigenpulsations and the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is closed to one eigenpulsation, highlighting the beat phenomenon.

An integrated procedure is presented for applying the variational equation of motion to the approximate analysis of nonlinear vibrations of homogeneous and layered plates and shells involving large deflections. The procedure consists of a sequence of variational approximations. The first of these involves an approximation in the thickness direction and yields a system of equations of motion and boundary conditions for the plate or shell. Subsequent variational approximations with respect to the remaining space coordinates and time, wherever needed, lead to a solution to the nonlinear vibration problem. The procedure is illustrated by a study of the nonlinear free vibrations of homogeneous and sandwich cylindrical shells, and it appears to be applicable to still many other homogeneous and composite elastic systems.

The nonlinear flexural vibrations of thin circular rings are analyzed by assuming two vibration modes and then applying Galerkin’s procedure on the equations of motion. The results show that vibrations involving either a single bending mode or two coupled bending modes can occur. Theory and experiment both indicate a nonlinearity of the softening type and the existence of these coupled-mode vibrations. Test results for the steady-state response are in good agreement with the calculated values, and the deflection modes used in the analysis agree with the experimental mode shapes. The analytical and experimental results exhibit several features that are characteristic of nonliner vibrations of axisymmetric systems in general and of circular cylindrial shells in particular.
