But so far, this issue has not been well addressed. Component mode synthesis (CMS) is an efficient method for dynamic analysis of structures. However, since the concept of mode for the fluid is very weak, the CMS is not suitable for solving fluid-structure interaction dynamic problems. Another type of dimension reduction method is dynamic condensation originating from Guyan method. In this paper, introducing the idea of CMS and combining the Guyan method, an efficient condensation solution method is proposed to solve the fluid-structure interaction dynamic models. In the dynamical modeling, both the structure field and fluid field are discretized using 20-node three dimensional elements. The elemental fluid-structure interaction equations of motion are formulated using the Hamilton principle and weighted residual method. The solid and fluid fields are divided into substructures, and all the degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the two fields are divided into interior structure DOFs, boundary structure DOFs, interior master fluid DOFs, interior salve fluid DOFs, as well as boundary fluid DOFs. In the solid substructures, higher orders of mode are neglected to realize a large-scale dimensional reduction, while for the fluid field, the slave DOFs are replaced by the master DOFs. To conduct the verification of the present method, experiment is carried out. The comparison results show the high accuracy and efficiency of the condensation solution method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 104214"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents a geometric-deep-learning multi-mesh autoencoder framework to predict the spatial and temporal evolution of aerodynamic loads for a finite-span wing undergoing different types of motion. The novel framework leverages on: (a) graph neural networks for aerodynamic surface grids embedded with a multi-resolution algorithm for dimensionality reduction; and (b) a recurrent scheme for time-marching the aerodynamic loads.

A modified SBFEM model, referred to as the scaling surface-based SBFEM, is developed to simulate the container wall, which is treated as a thin shell structure. Within the framework of the scaling surface-based SBFEM, the geometry of the shell structure is entirely determined by scaling one surface of the structure. This approach differs significantly from the standard SBFEM, where approximation is achieved through coordinate mapping based on a scaling center, thereby enhancing the modeling accuracy and efficiency. Hydrodynamic pressure is treated as an independent nodal variables in the governing equations of the fluid domain, which is modeled using the standard scaling centre-based SBFEM. The coupled fluid-structure system is assembled by applying equilibrium and compatibility boundary conditions to ensure the balance of interaction forces. A synchronous solution algorithm, combined with the implicit-implicit scheme of the Newmark method, is used to determine the dynamic responses of the coupled system. The main advantage of this novel approach is that it meshes and discretizes the boundaries instead of the entire structural and fluid domains, thereby reducing computational costs. Additionally, analytical solutions can be obtained along the radial direction of the interior domain, enhancing the accuracy and convergence of the results. Another advantage is the approach's ability to provide a unified modeling framework for structures of any shape. Furthermore, the asymmetry issue of the coefficient matrix can be effectively avoided by using a synchronous solution algorithm. Benchmark examinations confirm the superior computational accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach.

A nonlinear dynamic theoretical model is established based on the geometrically exact model to investigate the large deformation behaviors of the curved pipe conveying subcritical fluid flows. The theoretical model for predicting large deformations of the curved pipe is validated through the finite element method (FEM).
