Description
Summary:Based on dynamical theories of water waves and dynamics of Mindlin thick plates, the investigation of the wave-induced responses and the vibration reduction of an elastic floating plate are presented using the Wiener-Hopf technique. Without regard to the case of elastic connector, the calculated results obtained by the present method are in good agreement with those from the literature and the experiment. It can be shown that the present method is valid. Relations between the spring stiffness to be used to connect the sea bottom and the floating plate and the parameters of wave-induced responses of floating plates are investigated using the present method. Therefore, these results can be used as theoretical bases for the design stage of super floating platform systems.
