Summary
In this paper we consider a semi-infinite elastic plate, placed in a parallel flow, which performs a waving motion induced by the fluid. We discuss some aspects of the possibility of a smooth flow at the trailing edge. Numerical calculations have been made for a physically realistic part of the parameter space.
