Abstract
A lumped mass method is presented to analyze the tension force subjected by flexible mattress and its configuration. The method can take account of the elastic extension, non-uniform mass distribution of the mattress and the acting force due to flowing water. Through comparison between calculation results of this paper and catenary theory, it verifies the lumped mass method is more applicable for analysis of flexible mattress in real fluvial environment than commonly used catenary theory.
