Abstract
Schwinger's variational formulation is applied to the radiation of surface waves due to small oscillation of bodies. By means of Haskind's theorem the wave forces on a stationary body due to a plane incident wave are found using only far-field properties. Results for horizontal rectangular and vertical circular cylinders are presented.Keywords
