Abstract: | The present study is concerned with an analysis of gravitational and acoustic waves which are excited by a vibrational source deeply placed in a liquid covered by ice. An analysis of the rigidity characteristics of ice modeled by an elastic layer or by a Kirchhoff plate is done by factorization of the solution to the integral equation equivalent to an initially combined boundary value problem. The uncombined boundary condition is used to solve problems for unrestricted ice fields in [1–3], whereas combined conditions with vibrational sources positioned at the boundary of the medium are used in [4].Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki, No. 3, pp. 125–129, May–June, 1986. |
