The objective of the current work is to study the effect of longitudinal compressive force on hydroelastic responses of a horizontal plate impacting with water. The horizontal elastic plate is represented as an Euler beam model, and the hydrodynamic pressure is found by solving a two-dimensional boundary value problem in an incompressible and irrotational fluid. An asymptotic solution of hydroelastic responses of the plate is extended to the cases with longitudinal compressive force. The local stresses, strains and deflections are studied theoretically for the cases with two different boundary conditions. The effect of the value of the compressive force on the development of the deflection of the beam is studied.
