The investigation of coupled fluid-structure systems, subjected to dynamic loads, calls for the use of discrete techniques such as the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM). This paper reports on the development of a FEM-BEM coupling procedure, where finite elements are u

✦ Synopsis
In this paper, we present an analytical model to study the interaction between a slender structure and the surrounding incompressible viscous ¯ows. The governing equations for the suspended structure are derived under small deformation assumptions and with the consideration of ¯uid pressures and frictional forces. We obtain the discretized equations using the standard linearization procedure and spatial ®nite dierence schemes. It is shown that for both laminar and turbulent ¯ow conditions, the results derived from analytical approaches match the solutions of the ADINA ¯uid-structure analysis. Of course when geometries of ¯uid domains are complex, it is necessary to use a general purpose computational software. We also point out that for speci®c problems, such as the dynamic stability analysis of the structure surrounded by pulsatile ¯ows, there is still a need for analytical approaches.
