Abstract

The plane near-field response of an elastic plate is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Experimental observations of the displacement field within the plate are obtained by means of high-speed photography of grid lines imbedded in a clear specimen molded from a low-modulus material. The analytical solution is obtained by using a recently proposed numerical procedure developed for plane problems in dynamic elasticity.

Comparison of experimental observation with theoretically predicted results is offered as evidence of the applicability of the numerical method to near-field problems in elasto-dynamics.
