Fluid-Structure Interaction Applied Numerical Methods Wiley-Masson Series Research in Applied Mathematics Series

The aim of this book is to describe the methods leading to mechanical and numerical modelling of the linear vibrations of elastic structures coupled with internal fluids (sloshing, hydroelasticity and structural acoustics). It is characteristic of the problems under consideration that they are multidisciplinary involving structural and fluid representation and related numerical aspects. The problems are solved by direct resolution of the coupled systems by finite element methods and modal reduction procedures using the eigenmodes of ?elementary subsystems?. The numerical methods described in this book have applications in various engineering disciplines such as the automotive and aerospace industries, civil engineering, nuclear engineering and bioengineering.

Henri J.-P. Morand and Roger Ohayon are the authors of Fluid-Structure Interaction: Applied Numerical Methods, published by Wiley.

The authors deals with interaction problems between structures and internal fluids, such as in aerospace and aeronautical structures. The characteristics of problems addressed lie in their multidimensional aspects, which involve structural and fluid representation and related numerical aspects. The numerical methods used here can be applied to various industries other than aerospace, such as automobile, nuclear and marine engineering.Introduction. Vibrations of elastic structures.
