Overview

This analysis finds that a viscoelastic membrane reduces wave energy in a rubble mound breakwater, suggesting improved coastal protection.

Key Points

  • The setup reduces wave energy by creating a calmer zone behind the breakwater.
  • Energy transmission through the membrane is below 30% for moderate damping values.
  • The hybrid boundary element method was employed to solve the dynamic boundary condition.
  • Optimal performance occurs with suitable breakwater porosity and structural size.
