Abstract

Very Large Floating Structures have been planned for effective utilization of ocean space in recent years. The VLFS usually has a control tower to guide airplane securely. This paper present an effective method for calculating the wave induced hydroelastic responses of VLFS considering the effect of control tower-shapes. The source and dipole distribution method is used to calculate the hydrodynamic loads and equation of motion is derived by considering the static and dynamic coupling effects from different segments of the plate. The rigidity matrix for VLFS is formulated by finite element method using a plate theory. The calculated results for VLFS with a control tower are compared with those for VLFS without a control tower.
