Abstract: The method of double Fourier transform was employed in the analysis of the semi-infinite elastic foundation with vertical load. And an integral representations for the displacements of the semi-infinite elastic foundation was presented. The analytical solution of steady vibration of an elastic rectangle plate with four free edges on the semi-infinite elastic foundation was also given by combining the analytical solution of the elastic rectangle plate with the integral representation for displacements of the semi-infinite elastic foundation. Some computational results and the analysis on the influence of parameters were presented.

Key words: semi-infinite elastic foundation, rectangular plate with four free edges, steady vibration, interaction, analytical solution
