We consider the motion of a thin elastic plate with non-uniform thickness. The plate is either
submerged and has some inclination with the vertical or is floating on the upper surface of …

Due to their improved mechanical properties and adaptability, microplates with tailored
variable thickness profiles are becoming essential parts of advanced micro-and …

We present a theoretical model of the hydrodynamic behaviour of a floating flexible plate of
variable flexural rigidity connected to the seabed by a spring/damper system. Decomposition …

We present a theoretical model to analyse the hydrodynamics of wave energy converters
(WECs) comprised of three-dimensional, rigid, floating, compound rectangular plates in the …

Wave energy converters together with flexible breakwaters not only provide shelter to the
energy devices against wave attacks but also offer improved performance, longer …

This research investigates the interaction of water waves with a piezoelectric plate wave
energy converter (pWEC) submerged beneath an ice cover in a marine environment. Two …

Analyzing inclined flexible plates of varying thickness is crucial for optimising and attaining
precise control over wave reflection and transmission. This is particularly significant in the …

Examining inclined flexible plates with variable thickness becomes crucial when it comes to
optimizing or achieving controlled reflection and transmission of waves, especially for the …

In the literature related to linear water waves, most of the works have considered thin
structures to have constant or uniform thickness. This assumption is based on the fact that …
