The vibrations of a bounded plate in a fluid (Q1090502): Difference between revisions

An approximate analytic method is proposed to solve boundary value problems for the harmonic oscillations of a bounded plate in contact with a fluid. The procedure for constructing the successive approximations is such that the first approximation will describe the solution in the main, while subsequent approximations reduce to small refinements on the first approximation. The method is realized in solving a model problem on the plane vibrations of a plate, a strip in a rigid screen within unilateral contact with a liquid medium. Results of a numerical solution of the problem are presented in addition to the approximate analytic solution. By comparing these solutions one can estimate the error of the analytic method in determining the resonance frequencies and modes of plate vibrations in a fluid.
