Oscillations of Nanofilms in a Fluid

Oscillations and waves in a nanofilm in contact with a gaseous medium are considered. It is assumed that the excitation frequencies are in the ultrasonic range. The simplest model is constructed, based on Timoshenko theory of plate bending and on the first approximation of the reaction from the gaseous medium. This takes into account the surface effect caused by the difference in elastic characteristics in the near-surface layer and in the main volume of the material. The derived relations within the Timoshenko model are simplified, which makes it possible to obtain visible results. The contribution of surface effects and reactions from the gaseous medium is assessed. Linear dynamics of a semi-infinite film is studied.
