Abstract
An analytical model of a current load’s interaction with a moored floating flexible structure based on the Timoshenko–Mindlin beam theory is developed under the assumption of small-amplitude wave theory and the structural response. Theoretical solutions on the displacement of the structure, reflection, and transmission coefficients are obtained by applying the matching technique along with the orthogonal model coupling relation. The results of the transmission coefficient and displacement amplitude are compared with the other calculations and experimental datasets available in the literature. The structural deflection and transmission coefficients are investigated via the hydroelastic response for wave–current loads along with design parameters. The comparison results showed that the present model result is supported by the numerical model’s results. This present analysis can provide further information for marine engineers to design floating flexible platforms in the marine environment.
