Abstract: This paper concerns a specific problem in the study of dynamic response of a thin viscoelastic plate in contact with incompressible and inviscid fluid. The plate is subjected to time dependent lood. Laplace transform is used to calculate the lateral displacement. The frequency is assumed to be low and the fluid is deep. Both the fluid and the applied force is always in contact with the plate. Numerical results are discussed with respect to the density ratio of the fluid and the plate and depth of the fluid.
