and Radiation Damping
One of the most difcult tasks facing the author in writing this book was
to select a simple but reasonably accurate approximation for handling uid
loading on the structure. The purpose of this book is to give the reader
complete Green’s functions, including a computer program. The author’s
intention is to provide general types of solutions with varying boundary
conditions. Thus, the following approximations have been used. If the reader
desires more accurate approximations for the uid loading, many papers
