Abstract A FEM-BEM coupling approach is used for acoustic fluid-structure interaction analysis. The FEM is used to model the structure and the BEM is used to model the exterior acoustic domain. The aim of this work is to improve the computational efficiency and accuracy of the conventional FEM-BEM coupling approach. The fast multipole method (FMM) is applied to accelerating the matrix-vector products in BEM. The Burton-Miller formulation is used to overcome the fictitious eigen-frequency problem when using a single Helmholtz boundary integral equation for exterior acoustic problems. The continuous higher order boundary elements and discontinuous higher order boundary elements for 2D problem are developed in this work to achieve higher accuracy in the coupling analysis. The performance for coupled element types is compared via a simple example with analytical solution, and the optimal element type is obtained. Numerical examples are presented to show the relative errors of different coupled element types.

The present study considers the free vibration analysis of moderately thick conical shells based on the Novozhilov theory. The higher order governing equations of motion and the associate boundary conditions are obtained for the first time. Using the Frobenius method, exact base solutions are obtained in the form of power series via general recursive relations which can be applied for any arbitrary boundary conditions. The obtained results are compared with the literature and very good agreement (up to 4%) is achieved. A comprehensive parametric study is performed to provide an insight into the variation of the natural frequencies with respect to thickness, semivertex angle, circumferential wave numbers for clamped (C), and simply supported (SS) boundary conditions.

Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory, a unified nonlocal, nonlinear, higher-order shear deformable nanoplate model is developed to investigate the size-dependent, large-amplitude, nonlinear vibration of multiferroic composite rectangular nanoplates with different boundary conditions resting on an elastic foundation. By considering a unified displacement vector and using von Kármán’s strain tensor, the strain–displacement components are obtained. Using coupled nonlocal constitutive relations, the coupled ferroelastic, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and thermal properties of multiferroic composite materials and small-scale effect are taken into account. The electric and magnetic potential distributions in the nanoplate are calculated via Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations. Furthermore, Hamilton’s principle is utilized to obtain the mathematical formulation associated with the coupled governing equations of motions and boundary conditions. The developed model enables us to consider the effects of rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation without using any shear correction factor. Also, it can be degenerated to the models based on the Kirchhoff and existing shear deformation plate theories. To solve the large-amplitude vibration problem, an efficient multistep numerical solution approach is utilized. Effects of various important parameters such as the type of the plate theory, and parameters of nonlocality and coupled fields on the nonlinear frequency response are investigated.
