An explicit solution is provided for the scattering of flexural gravity waves by a rigid vertical barrier submerged in an infinite depth of water. By applying recently developed mode-coupling relation for eigenfunctions, the mixed boundary value problem has been converted to solve dual integral equations with kernel consisting of trigonometric functions. And then complete analytical solutions are derived with an aid of singular integral equations whose solutions are bounded at the end points. The important hydrodynamical scattering quantities such as reflection and transmission coefficients associated with the flexural gravity wave scattering have been obtained analytically in terms of modified Bessel functions and Struve functions. It is observed that these quantities are sensitive to both combined as well as individual effect of plate thickness and barrier depth of submergence. Numerical results are computed and explained graphically for different parameters such as time period and non-dimensional wave length. Further, the effect of compressive force and plate thickness on the flexural gravity waves against a submerged vertical barrier is studied.
