    Wave transformation due to floating elastic thick plate over changing bottom topography
    (Springer, 2019) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.
    In the present study, the wave interaction with floating thick elastic plate is studied over changing bottom topography. The effect of flexible floating plates is studied based on Timoshenko–Mindlin’s theory in finite water depth and shallow water approximations. The hydroelastic analysis is performed at varying water depths and plate sizes to get the behaviour of elastic plate under the action of ocean wave. Different bottom topography cases are considered in the analysis of wave interaction with floating thick elastic plate. A mathematical model considering the mode-coupling relation along with the orthogonality condition is formulated to analyse the wave scattering due to floating thick elastic plate with varying bottom topography. The numerical results for the hydroelastic behaviour are obtained for wave interaction with floating plate with free-edge condition in varying bottom topography. The present analysis helps to understand the significance of rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation for the floating elastic plates. The study provides an insight into the effect of seabed profile over the wave interaction with floating thick elastic plate in finite water depth. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

    Wave transformation due to floating thick elastic plate over multiple stepped bottom topography
    (Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2019) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.
    The wave transformation due to floating elastic plate is studied over multiple stepped bottom topography. The behaviour of the flexible floating plate is studied considering Timoshenko-Mindlin's plate thick theory at finite water depth and the edge conditions for the floating plates are considered to be free-free support condition. The mathematical model is developed based on the eigenfunction expansion method to study the hydroelastic behaviour of a floating thick elastic plate at varying water depths, step thickness and plate sizes acted upon by ocean wave. The mode coupling relation is employed along with orthogonality relation and the continuity equations for velocity, pressure, deflection, bending moment, slope and shear force to determine the wave characteristics in reflection and transmission region due to variable bottom topography. The numerical computation is carried out to obtain the hydroelastic behaviour of floating elastic plate acted upon by ocean waves. Further, detail comparison of the numerical results is performed for different step bottom topography for the hydroelastic analysis of floating thick elastic plate. The present study will provide an insight into the effect of seabed profile due to the wave scattering from a large floating thick elastic plate at finite water depth. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Wave Interaction With Floating Elastic Plate Based on the Timoshenko-Mindlin Plate Theory
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) infocentral@asme.org, 2019) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.; Guedes Soares, C.
    In the present study, the wave interaction with the very large floating structures (VLFSs) is analyzed considering the small amplitude wave theory. The VLFS is modeled as a 2D floating elastic plate with infinite width based on Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory. The eigenfunction expansion method along with mode-coupling relation is used to analyze the hydroelastic behavior of VLFSs in finite water depth. The contour plots for the plate covered dispersion relation are presented to illustrate the complexity in the roots of the dispersion relation. The wave scattering behavior in the form of reflection and transmission coefficients are studied in detail. The hydroelastic performance of the elastic plate interacting with the ocean wave is analyzed for deflection, strain, bending moment, and shear force along the elastic plate. Further, the study is extended for shallow water approximation, and the results are compared for both Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory and Kirchhoff's plate theory. The significance and importance of rotary inertia and shear deformation in analyzing the hydroelastic characteristics of VLFSs are presented. The study will be helpful for scientists and engineers in the design and analysis of the VLFSs. © 2019 by ASME.

    Influence of Support Conditions on the Hydroelastic Behaviour of Floating Thick Elastic Plate
    (Harbin Engineering University, 2019) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.; Guedes Soares, C.G.
    The hydroelastic response of very large floating structures (VLFS) under the action of ocean waves is analysed considering the small amplitude wave theory. The very large floating structure is modelled as a floating thick elastic plate based on Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory, and the analysis for the hydroelastic response is performed considering different edge boundary conditions. The numerical study is performed to analyse the wave reflection and transmission characteristics of the floating plate under the influence of different support conditions using eigenfunction expansion method along with the orthogonal mode-coupling relation in the case of finite water depth. Further, the analysis is extended for shallow water depth, and the continuity of energy and mass flux is applied along the edges of the plate to obtain the solution for the problem. The hydroelastic behaviour in terms of reflection and transmission coefficients, plate deflection, strain, bending moment and shear force of the floating thick elastic plate with support conditions is analysed and compared for finite and shallow water depth. The study reveals an interesting aspect in the analysis of thick floating elastic plate with support condition due to the presence of the rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation. The present study will be helpful for the design and analysis of the VLFS in the case of finite and shallow water depth. © 2019, Harbin Engineering University and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

    Hydroelastic analysis of periodic arrays of multiple articulated floating elastic plate
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd. michael.wagreich@univie.ac.at, 2020) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.; Guedes Soares, C.
    The periodic array of multiple articulated floating elastic plate acted upon by ocean waves is analysed considering Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory. The floating elastic plate is placed periodically and is interconnected with vertical linear and flexural rotational springs which acts as an articulated joint. The hydroelastic behaviour of multiple articulated floating elastic plate is analysed based on eigenfunction expansion method along with the orthogonal mode-coupling relation in finite water depth and the continuity of energy and mass flux are used in the hydroelastic analysis of floating plate at shallow water depth. Further, the application of the wide-spacing approximation (WSA) method is employed to analyse the hydroelastic characteristics of the multiple articulated floating elastic plate. The results obtained using the eigenfunction expansion method is compared with the results based on WSA at finite water depth and validated with the results available in the literature. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Hydroelastic response of floating elastic plate in the presence of vertical porous barriers
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Praveen, K.M.; Venkateswarlu, V.; Karmakar, D.
    The attenuation of the incident wave interacting with a very large floating structure (VLFS) in the presence of vertical barriers is analysed considering small amplitude wave theory. The VLFS is considered to be articulated and is modelled based on Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory. The eigenfunction expansion method along with the orthogonal mode-coupling relation is employed for the case of finite water depth. The numerical study is performed to analyse the wave reflection, transmission and dissipation characteristics due to the articulated floating plate for the case of bottom standing and surface piercing vertical porous barriers. The hydroelastic behaviour in terms of deflection and strain for an articulated floating thick elastic plate in the presence of porous barriers is analysed. The study reveals that the magnitude of wave attenuation is enhanced due to the presence of vertical porous barriers and also provides an understanding in mitigating the structural response. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Oblique wave interaction with a two-layer pile-rock breakwater placed on elevated bottom
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Venkateswarlu, V.; Praveen, K.M.; Vijay, K.G.; Anil, K.; Karmakar, D.
    The two-layer pile-rock porous breakwater consisting of the upper porous layer, middle porous layer placed over the bottom rigid layer (elevated bottom) is proposed as an active wave absorber for significant wave damping and wave trapping. The two-layer rock core is placed between the two thin porous barriers (piles), and the thin barriers/ piles are useful to reduce the wave force experienced by active two-layered breakwater. The eigenfunction expansion method is used to analyse the physical problem on considering the continuity in fluid velocity and pressure along with mode-coupling relation based on classical linearised potential flow theory. The developed analytical model is validated with the available results and then various hydrodynamic characteristics such as wave reflection, transmission, damping, wave forces on seaward, leeward barriers and wave force experienced by the vertical cliff are presented. The porosity of surface layer shows an effective role in reducing the harmonic oscillatory pattern in the hydrodynamic quantities, and the study suggests the higher surface layer porosity (Formula presented.) as compared with bottom layer porosity for optimal wave damping. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Wave transformation due to finite floating elastic plate with abrupt change in bottom topography
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Praveen, K.M.; Venkateswarlu, V.; Karmakar, D.
    The propagation of surface gravity waves in the presence of finite floating elastic plate over varying sea bottom profile is investigated using the Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory. The continuity of velocity and pressure at the interfaces along with the continuity of deflection, slope, bending moment and shear force is employed with the support conditions at the plate edges. The numerical computation is performed to obtain the hydroelastic behaviour of the floating elastic plate due to abrupt change in bottom topography. The validation of the present analytical model is performed with the known results available in the literatures. Further, a detailed comparison of the numerical results is presented for different step bottom topography on the hydroelastic characteristics of a floating elastic platform. The present study will provide an insight into the effect of the ocean bottom profile on wave propagation due to the presence of a large floating elastic plate. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
