Surface and Internal Waves due to a Moving Load on a Very Large Floating Structure

Figure 7

Two-layer system with a floating thin plate, where ℎ₁ = 0.2 m and ℎ₂ = 0.8 m. The thin plate, whose length 𝐿_𝑠 is equal to 35.0 m, covers the water surface from x = 5.0 m to 40.0 m. The point load moves on a one-way path between x = 10.0 m and (10.0 m + 𝐿_𝑝) at a constant velocity.
