Abstract

This work is about the study of the dynamic behavior of cantilever plates, partially or totally immersed in water. To evaluate the contribution of the liquid on the body, an extensive experimental campaign, dedicated to the study of the resonance frequencies, was performed. On the basis of the results obtained, a model was developed that can determine the influence of water as a function of the width of the plate, the immersion’s depth and the vibration mode. This was then implemented into a FEM code and the results were compared with the experimental tests.
