The dynamic response of a free-standing plate subjected to a blast wave is studied numerically to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in blast wave mitigation. Previous work on the FSI between a blast wave and a free-standing plate (Kambouchev, N., et al., 2006, “Nonlinear Compressibility Effects in Fluid-Structure Interaction and Their Implications on the Air-Blast Loading of Structures,” J. Appl. Phys., 100(6), p. 063519) has assumed a constant atmospheric pressure at the back of the plate and neglected the resistance caused by the shock wave formation due to the receding motion of the plate. This paper develops an FSI model that includes the resistance caused by the shock wave formation at the back of the plate. The numerical results show that the resistance to the plate motion is especially pronounced for a light plate, and as a result, the previous work overpredicts the mitigation effects of FSI. Therefore, the effects of the interaction between the plate and the shock wave formation at the back of the plate should be considered in blast wave mitigation.

The dynamic response of gravity type quay wall during earthquake including soil-sea-structure interaction is calculated using ADINA finite element techniques. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on the residual displacement of wall after a real earthquake. A direct symmetric coupled formulation based on the fluid velocity potential is used to calculate the nonlinear hydrodynamic pressure of sea water acting on the wall. The doubly asymptotic approximation (DAA) is used to account for the effects of outer fluid on the inner region. The non-associated Mohr-Coulomb material behavior is applied to model the failure of soil. The full nonlinear effective stress analysis is performed in this study and the soil-pore fluid interaction effects are modeled using porous media formulation. Viscous boundary condition is implemented to model the artificial boundary in direct method analysis of soil-structure interaction system and sliding contact condition was modeled in the interface of wall and surrounding soil. A typical configuration of gravity quay wall is used for analysis and three real earthquakes excitation are applied as base acceleration. The results show that influence of fluid-structure interaction effects on the permanent displacement of a gravity quay wall constructed on relatively non-liquefiable site is not considerable.

The present paper deals with the modal analysis of a nuclear reactor with fluid-structure interaction effects. The proposed study aims at describing various fluid-structure interaction effects using several numerical approaches. The modeling lies on a classical finite element discretization of the coupled fluid-structure equation, enabling the description of added mass and added stiffness effects. A specific procedure is developed in order to model the presence of internal structures within the nuclear reactor, based on periodical homogenization techniques. The numerical model of the nuclear pressure vessel is developed in a finite element code in which the homogenization method is implemented. The proposed methodology enables a convenient analysis from the engineering point of view and gives an example of the fluid-structure interaction effects, which are expected on an industrial structure. The modal analysis of the nuclear pressure vessel is then performed and highlights of the relative importance of FSI effects for the industrial case are evaluated: the analysis shows that added mass effects and confinement effects are of paramount importance in comparison to added stiffness effects.
