Description:
The structure is idealized as a uniform slender beam of circular cross‐section which supports a rigid tip mass and which is connected at its base to a rigid foundation mass, the latter being attached to the surface of a visco‐elastic half‐space. An analytical solution for harmonic response of the partially submerged structure is obtained in terms of the normal modes of the corresponding structure in vacuo. This is achieved by introducing fluid‐structure coupling into the model. A similar structural model has been described in a companion paper and used to study soil‐structure interaction. Numerical results show the dependence of response on various parameters and contribute towards a better understanding of the dynamics of off‐shore towers. Copyright © 1978 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
