Abstract
In two previous papers (Zafiropoulos and Kopal, 1983a, b; hereafter referred to as Papers I and II) we have investigated the effects of rotational and tidal distortion (for non-lagging tides) on the orbital elements of a close binary system. The present paper deals with secular and periodic perturbations caused by dynamical tides. The componentsR, S, andW of disturbing accelerations for tidal lag have been substituted in the Gaussian form of Lagrange's planetary equations to give the first-order approximation. The results obtained have been expressed by means of Hansen coefficients and include the effects produced by the second, third and fourth harmonic dynamical tides.
