Water-wave propagation through an infinite array of floating structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency-domain problem of water-wave propagation through a periodically arranged infinite array of structures is solved using the method of matched asymptotic expansions for both shallow and deep water; the structures are assumed to be small relative to the wave length and the array periodicity, and may be fixed or float freely. Explicit approximations to the frequencies of propagating modes are obtained, and used to illustrate how the frequencies are affected by geometrical and other parameters.

Water-wave propagation through an infinite array of cylindrical structures
An investigation is made into water-wave propagation through a doubly-periodic array of vertical cylinders extending to infinity in both horizontal directions. Methods are presented for the calculation of the frequency ranges for which wave propagation without change of amplitude is possible (‘passing bands’), and for which propagation without change of amplitude is not possible (‘stopping band...
متن کاملAcoustic Wave propagation through multilayer Thue-Morse structures containing two, three and four materials of Cu, Al, MgO and Pb
In this paper, the acoustic wave propagation in multilayer Thue-Morse structures has theoretically been studied. The composing layers were assumed do be Cu, Al, Mgo and Pb materials. Two, three or four different materials have been used in a typical structure. By using a perpendicular incident acoustic wave, the transmission coefficient was calculated and then by its old, the frequency gaps was...
متن کاملSimulation of static sinusoidal wave in deep water environment with complex boundary conditions using proposed SPH method
The study of wave and its propagation on the water surface is among significant phenomena in designing quay, marine and water structures. Therefore, in order to design structures which are exposed to direct wave forces, it is necessary to study and simulate water surface height and the wave forces on the structures body in different boundary conditions. In this study, the propagation of static ...
متن کاملPropagation of flexural waves at the interface between floating plates
We present a theoretical study of wave propagation in two adjoining floating plates of different flexural rigidity, such as fast-ice sheets that abut across a pressure ridge, etc. Analytical formulas for the transmission and reflection coefficients for various conditions at the interface are obtained using the Wiener-Hopf technique for the case of semiinfinite elastic plates joined by a straigh...
متن کاملRigidity and Irregularity Effect on Surface Wave Propagation in a Fluid Saturated Porous Layer
The propagation of surface waves in a fluid- saturated porous isotropic layer over a semi-infinite homogeneous elastic medium with an irregularity for free and rigid interfaces have been studied. The rectangular irregularity has been taken in the half-space. The dispersion equation for Love waves is derived by simple mathematical techniques followed by Fourier transformations. It can be seen t...
