Abstract

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.
