On the simplification of a frequency equation of the natural axially symmetric oscillations of a perfect liquid in a rigid cylindrical reservoir with elastic base

We have simplified the previously received frequency equation of the natural axially symmetric oscillations of a heavy perfect incompressible liquid in a rigid cylindrical reservoir with elastic bases in the form of thin circular plates. The singularity in the frequency equation in the case of the coincidence of mass characteristics of the plates was removed. We have considered arbitrary methods of fixing the contours of the plates and different limiting cases: the degeneration of plates into membranes, absolutely rigid plates, the absence of upper plate (free surface on the liquid), and the case of zero gravity. It has been shown that the frequency spectrum of the coupled axially symmetric oscillations of elastic bases and the ideal liquid consists of two sets of frequencies, corresponding to oscillations of the upper and lower elastic bases, and additional oscillation frequency of a liquid column as a whole.
