The use of a simple, inexpensive, and effective type of floating breakwater is increasingly
becoming a necessity in shoreline and marine structure protection. This study concerns the …

The objective of the present paper is the implementation of 3D experiments in order to
investigate and assess the structural response (connectors' internal forces and mooring …

In this paper,“wet” hydroelastic analysis is performed in order to investigate numerically the
hydroelastic performance of a free, flexible, mat-shaped Floating Breakwater (FB) that …

Interaction of surface gravity waves with multiple vertically moored surface-piercing
membrane breakwaters in finite water depth is analyzed based on the linearized theory of …

A tautly moored floating breakwater exhibits favorable wave attenuation performance at a
specific sea level, and a slackly moored floating breakwater is more adaptable to tidal …

Despite the severe nonlinearity and randomness of liquid sloshing, it can effectively reduce
the rocking effect with rational application. As a result, the dynamic response of ballast …

Floating breakwaters are an interesting alternative to bottom-fixed structures due to their
lower cost and environmental impact. Nonetheless, structural failures in the module …

The aim of this paper is to define a simple and useful formula to predict wave transmission
for a common type of floating breakwater (FB), supplied with two lateral vertical plates …

Floating breakwaters play an important role in protecting harborage and marine structures
from wave impact. Traditional floating breakwaters (FBs) are not applicative for their …

In this paper, 3D experiments are conducted aiming at the combined investigation of the
hydroelastic and the structural (connectors' internal forces) response of a pontoon-type …
