Abstract
This Paper is coupled free vibration analysis of a large scaled floating plate model which is floating on sea of finite depth. The boundary value problem to obtain the coupled eigen value is formulated based on the interaction between elastic beam and fluid. The Vibration equation governing the motion of coupled system is derived by a Finite-Boundary Element Combined Method and solved by a Determinant-Search procedure. In this study, numerical examples are presented for the mat type floating plate.
