Wave interaction with multiple articulated floating elastic plates

Effect of compression on wave diffraction by a floating elastic plate

“…Tkacheva (2003) studied wave interaction with floating elastic plate based on WienerHopf technique. Recently, Karmakar et al (2009) analyzed the effect of multiple articulation on wave scattering by floating elastic plate using a recently developed expansion formulae and associated orthogonal mode-coupling relations. The optimum location and rotational stiffness of the connectors for the two-floating beam system with the view to minimize the hydroelastic response was studied by Riyansyah et al (2010).…”

“…The presence of thermal strain, surface friction due to wind and water flow beneath the ice are some of the natural sources of compressive stress on a floating ice sheet as in Schulkes et al (1987). Further, the critical compressive force is expected to be a safety issue during landing of an air craft on the very large floating structures used as floating air ports, which are often designed by taking interconnected or multiple articulated structures (Karmakar et al, 2009;Riyansyah et al, 2010).…”

Flexural gravity wave over a floating ice sheet near a vertical wall

“…They constructed a numerical solution of the nonlinear problem and compared the results with the analytic solution. Karmakar et al [37,38] applied the eigenfunction expansion and the corresponding mode coupling relations to investigate the flexural gravity wave propagation through multiple articulated floating elastic plates and the scattering of flexural gravity waves by abrupt changes in the bottom topography.…”

Reducing Hydroelastic Response of Very Large Floating Structure: A Literature Review

“…Another innovative approach for reducing the hydroelastic response of floating structure is by using semi-rigid connections in floating structure system instead of rigid connection. The investigation of hydroelastic of articulated floating structure can be found in Lee and Newman [23], Xia et al [24], Fu et al [25], Kim et al [26] and Karmakar et al [27]. These studies were concerned more on the hydroelastic behavior not hydroelastic reduction.…”
