Summary:
The interaction between vibrating structures and fluids can have a profound influence upon the natural frequencies of the structure's vibration. This study examines one specific structure; a thin circular plate with the rarely studied free edge condition. It starts by considering a completely free plate in a vacuum and then, using receptance matching, utilises this result to determine the effects, on the natural frequencies, of a centrally located driving rod. Then, using the same technique, a result for the drive admittance of the fluid loaded plate is adapted to predict the natural frequencies of the same structure when subjected to significant fluid loading. All these results are then compared to those obtained from experiments.
