Abstract

In this study, a plate subjected to a suddenly applied surface force which travels constant velocity on the surface is analyzed. The transformed solutions in the Laplace and Fourier domains include the function of Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation. Their solutions are expanded into infinite series form, and then the inverse transforms are carried out for the each term of the series using the Cagniard-deHoop method. The exact transient closed-form solutions in the time domain are also expressed in infinite series form and their each term represents physical transient wave. It is shown that the amplitude ratios of reflection of P wave and SV wave are same for the cases of harmonic waves. The numerical results of velocity fields are shown by graphical representation.
