Popis: The effect of periodic variations of the shape of a homogeneous superconductor on its dynamics in an axisymmetric magnetic field produced by permanent magnets is studied in the case in which the gravity and inertia forces are directed along the axis of the suspension. The shape of the body varies in accordance with a harmonic law from an oblong to an oblate ellipsoid. The dependences of the forces and moments acting on the body on its position in the suspension and shape are obtained. It is shown that the periodic variation of the shape is responsible for excitation of vibrations and may lead to instability of the body. Calculations are performed in the quasi-stationary approximation.
