Transverse deflection $W(x,y) \cos(\omega t)$ of a thin isotropic elastic plate of thickness $h$,
Young's modulus $E$, density $\rho$, and Poisson's ratio $\nu$ is governed by the fourth-order
biharmonic PDE with flexural rigidity $D$:
D ∇⁴W − ρh ω² W = 0, D = E h³ / [ 12(1 − ν²) ]
At any arbitrary driving frequency $f$ (or across a frequency band $[f_{\min}, f_{\max}]$), the
forced plate response is the Lorentzian modal admittance superposition over eigenmodes $(n, m)$:
W(x, y, f) = ∑ₙ,ₘ [ Γₙₘ² / ((f − fₙₘ)² + Γₙₘ²) ] · Φₙₘ(x, y)
