AB  - In this work, a coupling strategy between the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) and the Kansa's Method (KM) for the analysis of fluid-solid interaction problems in the frequency domain is proposed. In this approach, the MFS is used to model the acoustic fluid medium, while KM accounts for the elastodynamic solid medium. The coupling between the two methods is performed iteratively, with independent discretizations being used for the two methods, without requiring matching between the boundary nodes along the solid-fluid interface. Two application examples, with single and multiple solid sub-domains, are presented, illustrating the behavior of the proposed approach.
