Abstract: This paper studies the three-dimensional unsteady problem of the hydroelastic behavior of a floating infinite plate under the impact of waves generated by horizontal straight motion of a point source of mass in a fluid of infinite depth. The solution is carried out using known integral and asymptotic methods. The formulas obtained are used to numerically analyze the effect of plate thickness, depth of submergence of the source, and its acceleration, deceleration, and velocity of uniform motion on the deflection of the floating plate.

Keywords: ideal fluid, elastic plate, unsteady motion of a source in a fluid.
