- We consider theoretically the dynamics of an oscillated sessile drop of incompressible liquid and focus on the contact line hysteresis. We address the situation of the small-amplitude and high-frequency oscillations imposed normally to the substrate surface. We deal with the drop whose equilibrium surface is hemispherical and the equilibrium contact angle equals pi/2. We apply the dynamic boundary condition that involves an ambiguous dependence of the contact angle on the contact line velocity: The contact line starts to slide only when the deviation of the contact angle exceeds a certain critical value. As a result, the stick-slip dynamics can be observed. The frequency response of surface oscillations on the substrate and at the pole of the drop are analyzed. It is shown that novel features such as the emergence of antiresonant frequency bands and nontrivial competition of different resonances are caused by contact line hysteresis.
