Abstract

The present study focuses on the determination of reflection and transmission characteristics for the coupled hydroelastic system involving a strip of large extent and shallow draft, floating over steep bathymetric variations and interacting with long waves. A parametric analysis with respect to the floating strip stiffness and the magnitude of the bathymetry variation for specific seabed profiles is conducted. This parametric study is expected to indicate optimum design characteristics, in terms of the strip flexural rigidity, for maximizing long wave reflection or transmission, depending on the specific application.
