The stability criteria associated with representations, of liquid layers which are in contact with flexible surfaces, are investigated theoretically by means of a linear vibration analysis. Such representations serve as mathematical models for situations involving the consideration of the stability of either a liquid stored in the elastic container of a space vehicle operating under low gravity conditions, or of the liquid phase of a material which is undergoing ablation from a flexible heat shield. The representation of the liquid layer consists of an incompressible, inviscid fluid which is subjected to a net unidirectional body force of constant intensity g and which is stored in a two-dimensional channel having a flexible floor. Irrotational flow is assumed and the cross section of the channel is restricted to the cases of a rectangle and the sector of an annulus. The equilibrium liquid-gas interface, in which the effect of surface tension is taken into account, is assumed flat for the rectangular case and to constitute a portion of a circular cylinder in the annular case. In the rectangular case the flexible floor is characterized as a uniform thin flat plate with zero in-plane edge restraint.

''Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness'' - Henrik Ibsen Money is big in the news. Banks have collapsed, the property bubble has burst and national debts are at almost unimaginable levels. The Book of Money will help you understand what is happening.

Money, and our worldwide struggles with them, is a constant source of doom and gloom news bulletins, leaving us fearing for our savings and bank balances. More often than we consider, this anxiety is down to our lack of understanding of how the economic climates and financial systems work.
