Abstract

The vibration and radiation of a submerged baffled finite rectangular bilaminar plate is obtained analytically using the three-dimensional equations of elasticity. The plate is composed of two perfectly bonded finite layers of identical size. The boundary conditions on the perimeter of the plate are free of shear stresses and pinned on the in-plane displacements. The plate is coupled to acoustic media on both sides and is baffled by an infinite rigid plane. The solution for the vibration response due to normal surface forces is found in terms of the bilaminar plate eigenmodes. The vibratory response and the associated near- and far-field radiated acoustic pressures are computed for various ratios of thickness to plate dimensions over a broad frequency range.
