Abstract:A procedure is presented to determine the vibration frequencies and mode shapes of submerged structures. Hamilton's principle is used to formulate the problem, and general sequences of trial functions are introduced to permit the direct extremization of the corresponding energy functional. The fluid-structure interaction is accounted for by restricting the trial functions of the fluid to represent the flow around the immersed body imposed by each trial function of the structure. The trial functions for the flu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
