Aboundary integral equation method (BIEM) model for the problem of surface wave interaction with a moored finite floating flexible plate is presented. TheBIEMsolutionis obtainedby employing the free surface Greens function and Green’s theorem and the expressions for the plate deflection, reflection, and transmission coefficientsare derivedfrom theintegro-differentialequation. Further, the shallow water approximation model and its solutionis obtainedbased on the matching technique in a directmanner. The accuracy of the presentBIEMcodeis checkedby comparing the results of deflection amplitude, reflection, and transmission coefficients with existing published results and experimental datasets as well as the shallow water approximation model. Thehydroelasticresponse of the moored floating flexible plateis studiedby analyzing the effects of the mooring stiffness, incidence angle, andflexuralrigidity on the deflection amplitude, plate deformations, reflection, and transmission coefficients. The present analysis may be helpful for the understanding of different physicalparametersto model a wave energy conversion device with mooring systems overBIEMformulations.
