Oblique incidence of surface waves on an elastic plate

Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Oblique incidence of small-amplitude waves on an elastic plate floating on a free liquid surface is studied. The reflection and transmission factors of the waves and the vertical displacements and strains of the plate are determined. It is shown that all these characteristics depend greatly on the incidence angle and frequency of the wave and the width of the plate. Approximate solutions for the reflection and transmission factors are obtained.
