TLDR
In this paper, the equations for the free undamped vibration of a structure in an ideal incompressible fluid medium and their finite element formulation are briefly reviewed and the relevant matrices (stiffness and loading) for two prismatic fluid elements are given explicitly and some numerical results are presented.

A note on vibration of a cantilever plate immersed in water

TL;DR: In this article, the first few mode shapes and the respective natural frequencies of a submerged cantilever plate are found by using a finite element procedure, eigenvalues being obtained by a simultaneous iteration technique.

Free vibration analysis of cantilever plate partially submerged into a fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, the free flexural vibration of a cantilever plate partially submerged in a fluid is investigated and the virtual mass matrix is derived by solving the boundary-value problem related to the fluid motion using elliptical coordinates.
