Longitudinal vibrations of a cylindrical shell filled with a viscous compressible liquid

Abstract

This article investigates the longitudinal vibrations of a semi-infinite circular cylindrical elastic shell filled with a viscous compressible fluid. It is believed that the vibrations are excited by a suddenly switched on longitudinal displacement at the end. To solve the problem, the refined equations of longitudinal vibrations of a circular cylindrical elastic shell interacting with an internal viscous compressible fluid, previously proposed by the authors, were taken as the main resolving equations. In this case, the lateral surfaces of the shell are considered free from external loads; in addition, considering purely longitudinal vibrations, it can be assumed that the radial displacements of the points of the shell are equal to zero.
