Hydroelastic vibration analysis of wetted thin-walled structures by coupled FE-BE-procedure
Udo Rohr and Peter Moller(Germany)

 
Abstract
    The reliable prediction of elastic vibrations of wetted complex structures, as ships, tanks,
offshore structures, propulsion components etc. represent a theoretical and numerical demanding task due
to fluid-structure interaction. The paper presented is addressed to the vibration analysis by a combined
FE-BE-procedure based on the added mass concept utilizing a direct boundary integral formulation of the
potential fluid problem in interior and exterior domains. The discretization is realized by boundary
element collocation method using conventional as well as infinite boundary element formulation with
analytical integration scheme. Particular attention is devoted to modelling of interior problems with both
several separate or communicating fluid domains as well as thin-walled structures wetted on both sides.
To deal with this specific kind of interaction problems so-called
