Hi everyone,
This is my first thread ever. It feels nice to be a part of tnis forum.
My question is what would the boundary conditions be for FE analysis of a concrete platform for wave or stillwater loading?
I am currently working in a GBS project as a structural engineer. I have been doing the concrete design using the FE output. I havent been involved in the analysis task so i have some trouble understanding how a floating object resting on a fluid can be analysed.
Ship hull bending moment calculation is pretty straight forward. Basically, solving a distributed load on a simple beam. So boundary conditions would be simply restraints at both ends restraining 3 degrees of freedom to have isostatic system.
But how should you restraint a 2d planar object on fluid? Restraining 6 degrees of freedom in total?
Any book reference about structural analysis of floating objects would be appreciated.
Thanks
