ABSTRACT
The problem of wave propagation over an adjoining-type of composite submerged poro-elastic breakwater with different materials is investigated theoretically. Lan and Lee's (2010) theory is extended to derive a new analytical solution for describing the problem. Using general solutions for each region and the matching boundary conditions, a set of simultaneous equations is thus developed and solved numerically. Changes in the component width of the composite breakwater, the effect of the permeability coefficient on wave profile, and the effect of materials and configurations of breakwater on wave variation are the focus of the present paper.
