โฆ Synopsis
The membrane forces are included in the hydroelastic analysis of a floating plate undergoing large vertical deflections in regular monochromatic multidirectional waves. The first-order vertical displacements induced by the linear wave exciting forces are calculated by the mode expansion method in the frequency domain. The second-order vertical displacements induced by the membrane forces are calculated by the von Karman plate theory. The results show that the membrane contribution both in terms of the axial stresses and the effect on the bending stresses can be important.

The conceptual design of a very large floating structure (VLFS) requires a convenient computer code for predicting hydroelastic behavior of it. The code should not be time consuming, but it should be flexible for all environmental conditions. In order to meet the needs, we apply the ray theory for p
