Abstract: Wave damping and motion of clay beds are measured in a wave tank for various soil and wave conditions. The propagator matrix theory for continuously layered plasto‐elastic beds is used to model the wave‐soil interactions. ...

Abstract: A Froude‐Mach similitude law for sea‐seabed interaction phenomena is established from the nonlinear Coulomb‐damped poro‐elastic theory recently developed. Generally, the similitude law requires that the three Mach numbers ...
