Normal modes of a poroelastic plate and their relation to the reflection and transmission coefficients.
A poroelastic plate that obeys the Biot theory is considered. Compact new forms of its reflection and transmission coefficients, similar to those of the resonance scattering theory for an elastic plate, are derived. A numerical comparison of the reflection coefficient modulus with the plate normal modes, at low frequency, shows that a study of the reflection or transmission coefficient does not provide the same kind of information on the poroelastic plate than an investigation of guided leaky waves propagation.
