On the Vibrations of an Elastic Plate in Contact with Water
TLDR
In this paper, the pitch of the fundamental note of a thin circular plate or diaphragm of given material and dimensions, filling an aperture in a plane wall which is in contact on one side with an otherwise unlimited mass of water, was investigated.Abstract:
In connection with the problem of submarine signalling the question arose as to the pitch of the fundamental note of a thin circular plate or diaphragm of given material and dimensions, filling an aperture in a plane wall which is in contact on one side with an otherwise unlimited mass of water. The following investigation, which includes some extensions, is now published by permission. To simplify the theoretical treatment, the wall is supposed to be rigid, and the plate to be firmly clamped to it along the circumference, although these conditions are only imperfectly fulfilled in practice. Even with these limitations an exact solution is out of the question, but a sufficient approximation can be obtained by Rayleigh’s method of an assumed type, which gives good results if the type be suitably chosen. It is known that the frequency estimated in this way will be somewhat too high.read more

Impact on Composite Plates in Contact with Water
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the contact force history is not affected if the mass of the projectile is large compared to that of the target, and that the same is true if the velocity is small compared to the velocity of the object.
