Abstract This paper presents an iterative coupling between a formulation based on the normal derivative of the integral equation (TBEM) and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the transient analysis of acoustic wave propagation problems in the presence of multiple inclusions. The proposed formulation overcomes the individual limitations of each method, requires less computer memory and may use less CPU time than a full direct coupling formulation scheme. In the proposed formulation each inclusion is solved individually, successively, using the TBEM or the MFS and scatters a field that it is seen as an incident field at each of the… More >

Abstract In this article, the propagation of elastic wave is studied in two dimensional functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with finite length subjected to mechanical shock loading, considering two dimensional variations for mechanical properties. The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is developed to solve the boundary value problem. The Newmark finite difference method is used to treat the time dependence of the variables for transient problems. The FG cylinder is considered to be under axisymmetric conditions. The mechanical properties of FG cylinder are assumed to vary across thickness and length of FG cylinder in terms of two dimensional volume fractions as… More >

Abstract A series of work has been carried out to develop the foundation for the computational scheme for the calculation of the influence of the acoustic disturbance to the aeroelastic stability of the structure. The generic approach consists of three parts. The first is the formulation of the acoustic wave propagation governed by the Helmholtz equation by using boundary element approach, which then allows the calculation of the acoustic pressure on the acoustic-structure boundaries. The structural dynamic problem is formulated using finite element approach. The third part involves the calculation of the unsteady aerodynamics loading on the structure using generic unsteady… More >
