In this paper,“wet” hydroelastic analysis is performed in order to investigate numerically the
hydroelastic performance of a free, flexible, mat-shaped Floating Breakwater (FB) that …

The parametric resonance, found in a single floating body, discloses that the kinetic energy
could be transferred from heave mode to roll mode and causes motion instability if there is …

For the very large floating structure (VLFS) which is deployed near seashore, islands and
reefs, the encounter wave conditions will become extremely complex. The influences of the …
