Abstract
The development of three-dimensional waves generated by a region of pressures moving uniformly and rectilinearly over the surface of a thin elastic isotropic plate covering an ideal fluid layer of finite depth is investigated. The pressures act starting at a certain instant. A qualitative similarity between the waves occurring and gravity-capillary waves is noted. The calculations are made for an ice cover. This model problem permits examining a number of properties of the oscillations of the ice cover occurring when hauling freight over ice roads, landing and takeoff of aircraft from ice fields, etc. [1]. The development of ship waves in a fluid of finite depth in the absence of a floating plate was investigated in [2, 3] and gravity-capillary waves were studied in [4–6]. Certain properties of steady three-dimensional waves occurring during movement of a load over the surface of a floating elastic plate were established in [1].
