| Mike's Phd thesis concerned a two-dimensional floating elastic plate which was solved
| |
| using a Green function method. The motivation for the solution was to model ice floe
| |
| and at the time he was ignorant of the engineering applications (e.g. [[VLFS]]).
| |
| Mike independently derived the Green function which
| |
| was well known in water waves and goes back to [[John_1950a| John 1950]].
| |
| The derivation method was copied by [[Squire_Dixon_2000a| Squire and Dixon 2000]]
