Surface and Internal Waves due to a Moving Load on a Very Large Floating Structure
Figure 11
Time variation of surface profiles due to the point load moving on the floating thin plate, where is surface displacement; k = 1.0; N = 2. The flexural rigidity of floating thin plate, , and the moving distance of point load, , are 500.0 Nm2 and 5.0 m in Case A, 500.0 Nm2 and 10.0 m in Case B, and 1000.0 Nm2 and 5.0 m in Case C, respectively. The triangle marks indicate the positions of moving point loads at each time.
