Abstract
AbstractIn this study, the responses of doubled-plates floating on the shallow water in the Mekong Delta under moving loads are considered. Particularly, the structures are modelled by two thin plates which are connected through Winkler-type elastic layers. Meanwhile, the linear shallow-water wave theory is adopted to model the water. In addition, a recently novel numerical method, which is namely Integrated Moving Element Method (IMEM), is employed to solve the coupled system of numerical equations in this study because of the advantages of this method in comparison to the traditional Finite Element Method (FEM). According to gained numerical results, the effects of the ratio between the thickness of layers as well as the stiffness of core on the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) of the floating double-plates will be investigated.KeywordsIMEMMoving loadDouble-plateFEM
