✦ Synopsis


The eigenanalysis of acoustical cavities with flexible structure boundaries, such as a fluid-filled container or an automobile cabin enclosure, is considered. An algebraic eigenvalue problem formulation for the fluidstructure problem is presented by combining the acoustic fluid boundary element eigenvalue analysis method and the structural finite elements. For many practical eigenproblems, use of finite elements to discretize the fluid domain leads to large stiffness and mass matrices. Since the acoustic boundary element discretization requires putting nodes only on the wetted surface of the structure, the size of the eigenproblem is reduced considerably, thus reducing the eigenvalue extraction effort. Futhermore, unlike in ordinary cases, the finite element discretization of pressure-displacement based fluid-structure problem gives rise to unsymmetric matrices. Therefore, the fact that the boundary element formulation produces unsymmetric matrices does not introduce additional difficulties here compared to the finite element case in the choice of an eigenvalue extraction procedure. Examples are included to demonstrate the fluid-structure eigenanalysis using boundary elements for the fluid domain and finite elements for the structure.
