Abstract
An asymptotic theory for the determination of the natural flexural modes and eigenvalues of a long narrow plate having a quite general planform shape is presented. A local transition layer exists in the vicinity of the widest portion of the plate, which reveals the essential structure of the flexural modes. Mode shapes are computed for trapezoidal and semi-elliptical planforms. The theory is relevant to an understanding of frequency discrimination in the cochlea (inner ear).
