Free oscillations of a multilayer stratified liquid separated by elastic membranes. (Q1583036)

Solutions are obtained for the eigenmodes of a multilayer ideal stratified liquid separated by elastic membranes. The limiting cases of zero stress on the membrane and large filling depths are studied. The cases of three- and two-layer stratified liquids are examined in detail. The effect of a load on the first eigenmode is studied as a function of the membrane stress, the density of the liquid, and the filling depth.
