Abstract

A two-dimensional fully nonlinear numerical wave tank is developed based on the higher order boundary element method and modal expansion to simulate the nonlinear interaction between waves and a finite horizontal floating elastic plate with draft. The large second harmonic displacement of a large-scale elastic plate near a second-order particular frequency is successfully calculated by this model. By the comparison with the results in a frequency model that involve perturbation expansion method, it is found that the large values of the second-order waves in a finite elastic plate near the particular frequency are not introduced by perturbation expansion. It is different from the case in infinite plate. The effect of the third-order particular triple frequency on the hydroelastic problem is small compared to the effect of the second-order particular frequency.
