Description
An energy method is presented for predicting the natural frequencies,
radiation loss factor and system loss factor of simply supported
rectangular plates under fluid loading. Both bare plates and plates
with complete damping treatments are considered. Results obtained
using the method developed are compared with two other theories.
The agreement is generally good. The study points out the need for
detailed analyses of plate vibration patterns and their associated
radiation output under various plate boundary conditions. There also
exists a need for carefully conducted experimental work to verify
the applicability of the current theory.
