Abstract
It is shown that the known solution of the acoustic scattering problem on a supported elastic plate, described by the Timoshenko model, shou ld be corrected. The general formulation of the contact conditions tha t imply the reciprocity principle is given. Sommerfeld's formula and t he ''optical'' theorem for the model are formulated. They lead to the uniqueness of the solution. The numerical comparison of the effective cross section of scattering from supported elastic plate described by the Kirchhoff and by the Timoshenko models is presented.
