Abstract In this paper, the surface displacement response of a finite fluid-loaded shell and the resulting far field acoustic pressure are studied. A high resolution signal processing algorithm is applied to the surface displacement to estimate the constituent wave numbers and corresponding amplitudes for these wave components. This parameter estimation technique identifies the fluid-loaded cylinder’s complex dispersion relations from finite shell data; the dispersion relations consist of subsonic, leaky, evanescent and oscillatory-decaying wave-number loci. The identified results are compared to the analytic dispersion relations. The far field pressure radiated due to each wave-number component is computed allowing for the determination of important contributors to the far field response. For the frequencies studied, the subsonic wave dominates the far field response due to the finite length of the shell and large amplitude of this component. The supersonic components have the next largest contribution to the far field pressure.

Trivial logic of collisionless plasma waves is reduced to using complex exponentially damping/growing wave functions to obtain a complex dispersion equation for their wave number 1 k and the decrement/increment 2 k (for a given real frequency  and complex wave number k  k1  ik2 ), whose solutions are ghosts 1 2 k , k which do not have anything to do at 2 k  0 with the real solution of the dispersion equation for the initial exponentially damping/growing real plasma waves with the physically observable quantities 1 2 k , k , for which finding should be added, in this case, the second equation of the energy conservation law. Using a complex dispersion equation for the simultaneous determination of 1 k and 2 k violates the law of energy conservation, leads to a number of contradictions, is logical error, and finally also the mathematical error leading to both erroneous statement on the possible existence of exponentially damping/growing harmonic wave solutions and to erroneous values 1 k and 2 k . Mathematically correct conclusion about the damping/growing of virtual complex waves of collisionless plasma is wrongly attributed to the actual real plasma waves.

Underwater plate vibration and its associated noise are of interest for the analysis of ship structures, propeller blades, and other areas of underwater acoustics. In order to analyze the relationship between a plate vibrating underwater and the acoustic pressure in the near-field, optical interferometric holography, using a blue-green laser beam, was used to determine surface displacement for the vibrating plate, which was excited through a fluid-coupled system. Acoustic measurements of the same source were made in a water tower concurrently with the holography and later at a precision acoustic testing facility. This method permits prediction of underwater plate modal frequencies and shapes with high accuracy.
