The application of the finite element method based on the mixed variational principle for solving a three-dimensional eigenvalue problem using the example of a cavity with an elastic bottom is considered. A brief review of the literature on the subject of the study is provided. A rigorous mathematical formulation of the problem for the described mechanical system is presented. A hexagonal finite element of the fluid is introduced, the techniques of numerical integration of the kinetic energy of the liquid volume is described in using the Gauss-Legendre quadrature. A quadrangular finite element of the free surface is introduced, the techniques of numerical integration of the potential energy of wave formation using the Gauss-Legendre quadrature is described. An analytical expression for integration of the potential of the bottom contact interaction forces with a liquid is obtained as applied to a finite element of the bottom. The techniques of integrating the terms of the functional of the total mechanical energy of the system, providing the conditions for conjugation of the introduced degrees of freedom is described. The conjugation condition of the free surface displacement and the displacement potential of the fluid volume is integrated numerically using the Gauss-Legendre quadrature. The conjugation condition of the elastic bottom bending displacement and the medium displacement potential is integrated analytically. The description of the algorithm of numerical solution of the frequency-modal problem is given. The calculation results for the case of a rigid bottom are presented. The analysis of convergence of finite element solutions to analytical ones for different variants of partitions by finite element mesh is performed. The calculation results for the case of an elastic bottom are presented. The convergence analysis of the solution results for the case of an elastic bottom to the case of a rigid bottom with an increase in its thickness is performed. The analysis of the first form of oscillations for the case of an elastic bottom is presented. Conclusions are made about the applicability of the implemented algorithms to mechanical engineering problems.
