Title Deformations of a planet containing a moving internal core in the gravitational field of a central body and a satellite
Author(s) A. V. Shatina (Moscow)
Abstract A translational-rotational motion of a "planet-satellite" system in the gravity field of an attracting center is analyzed. It is assumed that the planet consists of a rigid weightless sphere with a moving internal core inside and an external viscoelastic spherical shell rigidly attached to the sphere. The satellite and the attracting center are considered as material points. The equations of motion for the system are derived on the basis of the D'Alembert-Lagrange variational principle. The motion separation method is applied to the system of equations obtained. A solution of the elasticity problem is constructed. This solution describes the deformations of the elastic layer of the planet under the action of the gravitational and inertial forces. It is shown that the action of external gravitational fields causes centrosymmetrical deformations of the elastic spherical layer of the planet. The oscillations of the inner core break down the symmetry.
