The proposed method is verified by a comparison of the results of calculating the plate deflection with the analytical solution in the case of homogeneous prestressed plates. The influence of the prestress level on the amplitude-frequency characteristics is analyzed in order to identify the most effective modes of acoustic sounding.
Furthermore, a new formulation of the inverse problem is proposed to identify the prestress in inhomogeneous viscoelastic plates using the information on the acoustic response of the plate. To solve the formulated inverse problem, a modification of the previously developed special projection approach is used, whose applicability is illustrated by a set of numerical experiments. The influence of input data noise on the prestress identification accuracy is also analyzed.
