... theory. The eigenfunction expansion method along with mode-coupling relation is used to analyze the hydroelastic behavior of VLFSs in finite water depth. The contour plots for the plate covered dispersion relation are presented to illustrate the complexity in the roots of the dispersion relation...

...I. Senjanović; N. Hadžić; M. Tomić The restoring stiffness, which couples displacements and deformations, plays a very important role in hydroelastic analysis of marine structures. The problem of its formulation is quite complex and is still discussed in relevant literature. In this paper...

...Guo-hai Dong; Shuang-hu Hao; Yun-peng Zhao; Zhi Zong; Fu-kun Gui The gravity-type fish cage is extensively applied with the increasing demand for fishery products. The flotation ring is its main load-bearing component and supports the whole cage. So it is essential to study the hydroelasticity...
