Modelisation of flexural and transverse vibrations of thin plates equipped with piezopolymer transducers. Application to sensors immersed in fluid and submarine fouling protection

The authors present a generalization of the S. Koshigoe and J.W. Murdock theoretical model. The considered structure vibrations are calculated and compared with experimental results. Complementary measurements of optical transmittance have been carried out by a spectroscopic study of glass plates immersed in a marine environment.
