This lecture illustrates, through simple models, in analytical and physical terms, the various
and profound influences of fluid loading on the vibration of structures and their acoustic …

Hydroelasticity brings together hydrodynamics and elastic theories. It is concerned with
deformations of elastic bodies responding to hydrodynamic excitations, which themselves …

This paper reports analytical studies of problems that involve the motion of plane elastic
structures under conditions of heavy fluid loading. The main aspect concerns the description …

The sound of a vortex ring passing near a semi-infinite porous edge is investigated
analytically. A Green's function approach solves the associated vortex sound problem and …

The motion and sound of a thin elastic plate, subject to uniform low-Mach flow and actuated
at its leading edge, is studied. The linearized response to arbitrary small-amplitude …

An analytical solution for the fully coupled structural-acoustic response of a thin elastic plate
mounted in a rectangular duct assuming linear dynamics is presented. The plate is …

The fluid loading of a thin elastic plate by static fluid can be characterized by the values of
two parameters, one a ratio Ω of frequency to coincidence frequency (or equivalently, a …

In this paper we consider the dynamic behaviour of a fluid-loaded elastic plate of
dimensionless length by the nonlinear tension induced by bending, and analyse the …

An elastic plate, set in an infinite baffle and immersed in a fluid moving with a uniform
subsonic velocity, is excited by an acoustic source. The scattered sound field is analyzed …

The existence of flexural waves confined to the free edge of a fluid-loaded plate is
established theoretically. Whereas analogous in vacuo edge waves exist for all parameter …
