Abstract: | Natural oscillations of a hemispherical drop on a solid substrate are considered. The Hocking condition is used to take into account the contact angle dynamics. The natural oscillations attenuate due to dissipation on the contact line and the degeneracy in the azimuthal number is eliminated. Forced oscillations of the drop are studied for tangential vibrations of the substrate. For the case of a fixed contact line, the amplitude of the forced oscillations grows without bound near the fundamental requency. In other cases, the amplitude is finite.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, 2004, pp. 8–20.
