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. (C) 1998 Acou
