In order to improve the spherical thin shells’ vibrations analysis, we introduce a new analytical method. In this method, we take into consideration the terms of the inertial couples in the stress couples’ differential equations of motion. These inertial couples are omitted in the theories provided by Naghdi–Kalnins and Kunieda. The results show that the current method can solve the axisymmetric vibrations’ equations of elastic thin spherical shells. In this paper, we focus on verifying the current method, particularly for free vibrations with free edge and clamped edge boundary conditions. To check the validity and accuracy of the current analytical method, the natural frequencies determined by this method are compared with those available in the literature and those obtained by a finite element calculation.

The extensional vibrations (momentless) of spherical shells of elastic orthotropic material have been studied theoretically. Equations of motion have been derived and solved. The principal directions of the elastic compliances are assumed to be along parallels of latitude and along meridians. In addition to the case of orthotropic shells of uniform thickness, the analysis may be applied in the case of shells with stiffeners attached. Special consideration is given to the isotropic shell as a limiting case of the orthotropic shell.

The collision of two isotropic spherical shells is investigated for the case when the viscoelastic features of the shells represent themselves only in the place of contact and are governed by the standard linear solid model with fractional derivatives. Thus, the problem concerns the shock interaction of two shells, wherein the generalized fractional-derivative standard linear law instead of the Hertz contact law is employed as a low of interaction. The pans of the shells beyond the contact domain are assumed to be elastic, and their behavior is described by the equations of motion which take rotary inertia and shear deformations into account. The model developed here suggests that after the moment of impact quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse shock waves are generated, which then propagate along the spherical shells. Due to the short duration of contact interaction, the reflected waves are not taken into account. The solution behind the wave fronts is constructed with the help of the theory of discontinuities. To determine the desired values behind the wave fronts, one-term ray expansions are used, as well as the equations of motion of the contact domains for the both spherical shells.

We investigate the axisymmetric dynamics of forced closed spherical shells. The nonlinear equations of motion are formulated using a variational approach and surface analysis. First, we revisit the linear eigenvalue problem. Then, using the method of multiple scales, we assess the possibility of the activation of two-to-one internal resonances between the different types of modes. Lastly, we examine the shell’s nonlinear responses to an axisymmetric primary-resonance excitation and analyze their bifurcations.

Rigid-body approximations for turbulent motion in a liquid-filled, spinning and precessing, spherical cavity are presented. The first model assumes the turbulent liquid to spin and precess as a rigid solid sphere coupled to the cavity wall by a thin layer of massless viscous liquid. The second model replaces the layer of massless viscous liquid by a series of n concentric rigid spherical shells. The number and thickness of the shells can be varied so that the interior sphere varies from a negligible diameter to nearly the diameter of the cavity. Although these models do not provide solutions of the fluid equations of motion, they yield steady-state energy dissipation rates that compare favorably with existing experimental data associated with turbulent flow in such a cavity. The models also duplicate several other important features of rotating fluid flow theory. In particular, the motions of the concentric shells exhibit characteristics associated with a classic Ekman layer structure.

The motion of an artificial satellite around the Moon is much more complicated than that around the Earth, since the shape of the Moon is a triaxial ellipsoid and the effect of the Earth on the motion is very important even for a very close satellite.The differential equations of motion of the satellite are written in canonical form of three degrees of freedom with time depending Hamiltonian. By eliminating short-periodic terms depending on the mean longitude of the satellite and by assuming that the Earth is moving on the lunar equator, however, the equations are reduced to those of two degrees of freedom with an energy integral.Since the mean motion of the Earth around the Moon is more rapid than the secular motion of the argument of pericentre of the satellite by a factor of one order, the terms depending on the longitude of the Earth can be eliminated, and the degree of freedom is reduced to one.Then the motion can be discussed by drawing equi-energy curves in two-dimensional space. According to these figures satellites with high inclination have large possibilities of falling down to the lunar surface even if the initial eccentricities are very small.The principal properties of the motion are not changed even if plausible values ofJ3andJ4of the Moon are included.This paper has been published in Publ. astr. Soc.Japan15, 301, 1963.

AbstractThe differences between numerically approximated partial derivatives and partial derivatives obtained by integrating the variational equations are computed for Comet P/d’Arrest. The effect of errors in the IAU adopted system of masses, normally used in the integration of the equations of motion of comets of this type, is investigated. It is concluded that the resulting effects are negligible when compared with the observed discrepancies in the motion of this comet.
