The theory is extended to take into account hinge rigid modes, which are calculated from a numerical analysis of the structure based on the finite element method. The modules and connectors are all considered to be flexible, with variable translational and rotational connector stiffness. As a special case, the response of a two-module interconnected structure with very high connector stiffness is found to compare well to experimental results for an otherwise equivalent continuous structure. This model is used to study the general characteristics of hydroelastic response in flexible floating interconnected structures, including their displacement and bending moments under various conditions. The effects of connector and module stiffness on the hydroelastic response are also studied, to provide information regarding the optimal design of such structures. Very large floating structures (VLFS) can be used for a variety of purposes, such as airports, bridges, storage facilities, emergency bases, and terminals. A key feature of these flexible structures is the coupling between their deformation and the fluid field. A variety of VLFS hull designs have emerged, including monolithic hulls, semisubmersible hulls, and hulls composed of many interconnected flexible modules. Various theories have been developed in order to predict the hydroelastic response of continuous flexible structures. For simple spatial models such as beams and plates, one-, two- and three-dimensional hydroelasticity theories have been developed. Many variations of these theories have been adopted using both analytical formulations (Sahoo et al., 2000; Sun et al., 2002; Ohkusu, 1998) and numerical methods (Wu et al., 1995; Kim and Ertekin, 1998; Ertek
