Abstract
The frequency spectrum and mode shapes of flexural vibrations of rectangular plates in contact with a liquid or gas are determined. An expression is derived for the distributed transverse load on a plate hinged along its contour. The plate surfaces are in contact with a medium characterized by varying density and pressure. The medium may be either compressible or incompressible. The effects of mean pressure, curvature of the mid-surface, and the added mass of the gaseous medium on the plate’s bending behavior are evaluated.
