...Abstract Abstract We develop a fully-coupled time-domain hydro-elasticity model for the Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) based on the Discrete-Module-Beam (DMB) method. Frequency-domain simulation based on 3D potential theory results in multibody’s hydrodynamic coefficients and excitation forces...

...Abstract Abstract The hydro elastic responses of flexible structures under fluid loading is an important concern during the design of large ocean structures. The two-way coupling between the structural responses and the hydrodynamic loads is a complex problem in large flexible floating...
