Abstract
Owing to the flexibility of ocean structures with large
dimension, the hydroelastic theory is more applicable than
traditional method of treating the floating structure as a rigid
body. To study the factors that influence the hydroelastic
responses, a very large floating structure (namely, VLFS) model
is chosen to conduct numerical calculations in regular waves
with the aid of three dimensional linear hydroelastic code
concerning varied bending stiffness and wave frequency. It is
found that bending stiffness and wave frequency have a critical
but complex influence on relevant hydroelastic results,
including generalized displacement, vertical response amplitude
and bending moment. More specifically, the effect of bending
stiffness on hydroelastic parameters above can be categorized
into different phases, and quite different tendencies are
observed in each phase.
