Fluid-Structure Interaction by a Duhamel-BEM / FEM Coupling

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in Boundary Element Methods

Abstract

A pure interface coupling formulation is developed for time domain analysis of coupled fluid-structure systems. Finite elements are applied to model the structure as an elastic continuum, while the fluid region is modeled as an acoustic media by the Boundary Element Method. The coefficient matrices for the fluid-structure interface are determined by applying unit impulses at the boundary of the fluid regions using the concept of Duhamel integrals, which are numerically approximated by means of the Convolution Quadrature Method. The proposed approach, greatly simplifies the assembly of sub-regions and the coupling to finite elements. The stability and accuracy of the proposed method are verified on some selected numerical examples.
