Axisymmetric elasticity problem for a hollow cylinder of finite length with allowance for gravity (Q2831355)

The author studies a hollow finite elastic cylinder under gravity and normal axisymmetric load applied to the upper base of the cylinder when its lower base is fixed. The internal cylindrical surface is under sliding fixation conditions and its external surface is fixed. The problem is reduced to a first-kind singular integral equation with respect to the normal stress on the fixed lateral surface. The character of the singularity of the unknown function is established and an efficient algorithm for solving the obtained equation is proposed. This algorithm is based on the expansion of the unknown function into series in Jacobi polynomials. The results of normal stress on the cylinder lateral surfaces are presented. They show that in the case of fixed lateral surface, the effect of gravity is much smaller than under sliding fixation conditions.
