Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...
The nonlinear dynamic analysis of cable and cable-large
body systems subject to both deterministic and non-deterministic
loading is presented in this study. Nonlinearities
occur due to large displacements, material nonlinearity,
lack of stiffness in compression, and the non-conservative
fluid loading.
A finite element model is used to model the cable...
A numerical study on the dynamic response of a generic rigid water-landing object (WLO) during water impact is presented in this paper. The effect of this impact is often prominent in the design phase of the re-entry project to determine the maximum force for material strength determination to ensure structural...
This publication is the second in a series of circulars designed to assist the graduate engineer in reviewing engineering subject matter in order to prepare for registration examinations. As in the first publication of the series, most of the illustrative problems are taken from recent examinations of the Oregon State...
