The discussion centers around the formulas for the transverse and longitudinal velocities of sound through a rectangular plate, with a focus on the context of sound transmission loss through materials. Participants seek clarification on the relevant equations and the properties of the materials involved.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the formulas or the context, as there is uncertainty about the correctness of the provided equations and the specific material properties needed for accurate calculations.
There are limitations regarding the assumptions about material properties and the specific context in which the formulas apply, as well as unresolved questions about the transverse wave calculations.

I wanted to know the formula for the transverse velocity and longitudinal velocity of sound through a rectangular plate.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!..
Thanks
saurabh_2110 said:Well the plate could be made of any material. It would use the Young's modulus, poisson's ratio and density. I have some formulas but I am not sure about them
Longitudnal = sqrt(E/(rho*(1-nu^2)))
Transverse (Bending) = ((2*pi*f)^2*B/rho/h)^(1/4)
where, E = Young's Modulus,
rho = density;
nu = poisson's ratio
f = frequency
B = Bending stiffness of plate
The context is that, I need these velocities to find sound transmission loss through a plate. These formulas weren't stated very explicitly, so I'm not quite sure...
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
