ABSTRACT

The paper states a problem of interaction between an oscillating spherical body and a thin elastic cylindrical shell, filled with ideal compressible liquid and submerged into an infinite ideal compressible medium with different properties. The geometrical center of the sphere is located on the cylinder's axis. Development of the solution is based on a possibility to represent particular solutions of the Helmholtz equations, written for both media in the cylindrical coordinates, by means of particular solutions in spherical coordinates and vice versa. By satisfying boundary conditions on the surfaces of the sphere and the shell, an infinite system of linear algebraic equations is produced to determine the coefficients in the Fourier expansion of the liquid's velocity potential with respect to the Legendre polynomials. Hydrodynamic properties of the fluids filling the cylindrical shell and surrounding it are determined, as well as flexural deformations of the cylindrical shell. A comparison is made with a sphere vibrating on the axis of a thin elastic cylindrical shell filled with a compressible fluid (not taking the exterior fluid into account).
