The problem of axisymmetric hydroelastic deformation of a thin cylindrical shell containing a liquid under the action of a moving load is approximately solved. It is reduced to the equation of bending of the shell and the condition of incompressibility of the liquid in the cylinder. The deflections of the shell and the level of lowering of the liquid are unknown. For solution, the Galerkin method is used and the problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. A simpler solution is considered without taking into account the incompressibility condition. Here, in addition to the deformed state of the shell, the critical speeds of the moving load are determined analytically.
