The present paper exposes a homogenization method developed in order to perform the modal analysis of a nuclear reactor with fluid-structure interaction effects. The homogenization approach is used in order to take into account the presence of internal structures within the pressure vessel. A homogenization method is proposed in order to perform a numerical calculation of the frequencies and modal masses for the eigenmodes of the coupled fluid-structure problem. The technique allows the use of a simplified fluid-structure model that takes into account the presence of internal structures: the theory bases are first recalled, leading to a new formulation of the fluid-structure coupled problem. The finite element discretization of the coupled formulation leads to the modification of the classical fluid-structure interaction operators. The consistency of the formulation is established from a theoretical point of view by evaluating the total mass of the coupled system with the fluid and structure mass operator, and the modified added mass operator. The method is tested and validated on a 2D case (two concentric cylinders with periodical rigid inclusions within the annular space) and applied on the industrial case. A complete modal analysis (calculation of frequencies and modal masses) is performed on a simplified geometry of a nuclear reactor with and without internal structures. Numerical results are then compared and discussed, and the influence of the internal structures on the fluid-structure coupled phenomenon is highlighted.

Fluid-structure interaction in a bent pipeline is investigated by modal methods. Measured frequency response functions between flow rate excitation and pressure response indicate a coupling effect near the third pipeline resonance. Using modal coordinates for the hydraulic and the mechanical subsystems, a two-degrees-of-freedom study of resonance coupling is carried out. An experimental modal analysis of the coupled hydraulic-mechanical system confirms the predicted resonance splitting; it illustrates the coupling mechanism and shows the relevant mechanical part. An analytical fluid-structure interaction model succeeds in reproducing the measured coupling effect. This model is also used for modification prediction; it demonstrates that an appropriate assembly of mass and damping on the pipeline can help to reduce hydraulic resonance amplitudes.

The stress distribution and modal characteristics of a space inflatable torus is investigated using the nonlinear finite element method. This paper focused on the effect of enclosed air on the modal analysis of the torus, including the effect of follower pressure load and the effect of the interaction between the enclosed air and the torus structure. Research shows that follower pressure stiffness significantly reduces the natural frequencies and changes mode shapes order. The fluid-structure interaction obviously reduces the natural frequencies, and the in-plane translation mode is observed. Follower pressure stiffness has no effect on the in-plane translation mode. Fluid-structure interaction decreases the natural frequencies of the modal considering the follower load effect, but it does not change mode shapes order. The effect of enclosed gas seriously reduces the natural frequencies, changes mode shapes order, and produces the in-plane translation mode.
