This paper develops the general solution of high-order partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern the static behavior of transversely inhomogeneous, anisotropic, elastic plates, in terms of complex functions. The basic development deals with the derivation of such a form of general solution for the PDEs associated with the most general, two-dimensional (“equivalent single-layered”), elastic plate theory available in the literature. The theory takes into consideration the effects of bending–stretching coupling due to possible un-symmetric forms of through-thickness material inhomogeneity. Most importantly, it also takes into consideration the effects of both transverse shear and transverse normal deformation in a manner that allows for a posteriori, multiple choices of transverse strain distributions. As a result of this basic and most general development, some interesting specializations yield, as particular cases, relevant general solutions of high-order PDEs associated with all of the conventional, elastic plate theories available in the literature.

The response of an elastic plate supported by a fluid half space to a steadily moving pressure is studied. The Timoshenko plate theory is used in the study. By the method of integral transforms, solutions for both the plate deflection and the interaction fluid pressure are obtained. The results are then compared in detail with those obtained previously using the classical plate theory.

We study the transient dynamics of a viscous liquid contained in a narrow gap between a rigid surface and a parallel elastic plate. The elastic plate is deformed due to an externally applied time-varying pressure field. We model the flow field via the lubrication approximation and the plate deformation by the Kirchhoff–Love plate theory. We obtain a self-similarity solution for the case of an external point force acting on the elastic plate. The pressure and deformation field during and after the application of the external force are derived and presented by closed-form expressions. We examine a distributed external pressure, spatially uniform and linearly increasing with time, acting on the elastic plate over a finite region and during a finite time period, similar to the viscous–elastic interaction time-scale. The interaction between elasticity and viscosity is shown to reduce by an order of magnitude the pressure within the Hele-Shaw cell compared with the externally applied pressure. The results thus suggest that elastic Hele-Shaw configurations may be used to achieve significant impact mitigation.

Nondimensional frequency parameters for predicting the resonant frequencies of annular plates with fixed-free boundary conditions as the plate inner to outer radius ratio approaches unity have been investigated experimentally. Frequency parameters have been determined by using modal analysis to measure resonant frequencies for annular plates of varied materials, thicknesses, and with radius ratios of 0.5 to 0.9. The data are compared to two different analytical frequency predictions which have been presented as solutions for resonance of fixed-free annular plates based on classical elastic plate theory.

Many closed-system pingos are underlain by sub-pingo water lenses, and the same is probably true of numerous open-system pingos. In the early growth stage the bending of the frozen overburden of a pingo by a sub-pingo water lens can be compared to the bending of a thin elastic plate. Although the assumptions of elastic plate theory do not apply fully to a growing pingo, because time-dependent plastic and creep deformation are involved, the application of elastic plate theory nevertheless helps to explain the peripheral normal faulting and spring flow of pingos, summit failure, the ease with which elongated pingos appear to collapse, and the changing roles played by the radius and overburden thickness of pingos from early growth to the cessation of growth.
