Herein we explore the frequency response of circular standing waves, ascertaining the effect of viscosity and elasticity on resonance. Edge waves were mechanically generated in a circular tank mounted on an electromechanical shaker. The wave field was measured using a camera and collimated light source. Water-glycerin mixtures and agarose gels were investigated for frequencies ranging from 4Hz to 22.9Hz and over a range of viscosity and shear modulus. The results showed that 1) the resonance modes for standing waves on water-glycerin mixtures shift to lower frequencies with increasing viscosity; 2) for fixed viscosity, the resonance modes on gels have a higher frequency than water-glycerin mixtures, i.e. elasticity increases the resonance frequency. A new theory for elastocapillary edge waves in a circular geometry is presented. The resonance frequencies predicted by the theory agree favorably with the experimental data. This work could potentially be used to develop a diagnostic method for measuring the complex modulus of soft materials.
