Wave-induced oscillations of submerged horizontal plates are studied by conducting laboratory experiments and developing theoretical computational models. These models include a linear solver based on the Green-function method, nonlinear model Green–Naghdi wave equations, fluid dynamics. The plate oscillates in vertical direction due to oscillatory loads. Oscillations controlled use spring-damp...

The objective stress rates used in most commercial finite element programs are the Jaumann rate of Kirchhoff stress, Jaumann rates of Cauchy stress, or Green–Naghdi rate. The last two were long ago shown not to be associated by work with any finite strain tensor, and the first has often been combined with tangential moduli not associated by work. The error in energy conservation was thought to ...
