Abstract
Cylindrical shells are used in ocean space as resevoirs and floats to support platforms and buildings. Dynamic response characteristics of large scaled floating type of elastic cylindrical structure has not yet been clarified. In this paper, a cylindrical shell strucuture which consists of an elastic shell wall, bottom plate and mooring springs on its circumference is studied, and not only motion as a whole sturcture but also distribution of stresses and displacements of the elastic plate and shell are investigated from the elastic structural point of view. Solutions of motion of the elastic structure system and the fluid are obtained as theoretical solution consistently. Dynamic responses of the structure and the fluid to the harmonic water wave are determined and the effect of the thickness of the shell and plate and the stiffness of the mooring spring on the responses are described.
