Abstract:

An infinite thin plate floating on an ideal fluid of finite depth is subjected to a concentrated dynamic uplift force. For a specified upward displacement, the uplift force potential is the solution of a Volterra integral equation of the first kind and of convolution type. In this paper, empirical force laws for the prescribed dynamic uplift of a floating plate are derived for two canonical problems.

More about this publication?

The Journal of Ship Research is a quarterly publication providing highly technical papers on applied research in hydrodynamics, propulsion, ship motions, structures, and vibrations. While the Journal requires that papers present the results of research that advances ship and ocean science and engineering, most contributions bear directly on other disciplines, such as civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, and numerical analysis. High quality papers are contributed from the U.S., Canada and overseas, with representation from established authorities as well as new researchers.
