Abstract
A new linear theory to analyse two-dimensional floating and liquid-filled membrane structure in waves has been presented. The dynamic solution is based on a small perturbation of the static solution and the hydroelastic deformation has been taken into account correctly to the first order of the incident wave amplitude. Numerical results have been presented for the dynamic tension and motions of a two-dimensional membrane structure. An approximate solution for the dynamic tension is developed and compared with the exact linear solution. The importance of nonlinear and three-dimensional effects is pointed out.
