Wave force acting on a circular flexible plate in the presence of a vertical surface-piercing flexible porous membrane is examined under the hypothesis of linear water wave theory. A semi-analytic solution is developed employing the Fourier-Bessel series expansion method along with the methods of separation of variables and least-squares approximation. To keep the outer flexible membrane at a desired position, clamped-moored condition is used. Appropriate orthogonal mode-coupling relationship for the eigenfunctions of the plate covered region is exploited in the expansion formulas together with the continuity of velocity and pressure for achieving the system of equations and to determine the unknowns. The effects of various physical parameters are analyzed by computing wave load on the structures, plate deflection and flow distribution. It is found that due to the presence of vertical flexible porous membrane, a significant amount of wave force on the plate is reduced. Thus, a cylindrical flexible porous membrane can be implemented to protect the inner circular flexible plate.
