Fluid Structure Interactions for Blast Wave Mitigation

Fluid-structure interaction studies on marine propeller

Composite propellers offer high damping characteristics and corrosion resistance when compared with metal propellers. But the design of a hybrid composite propeller with the same strength of metal propeller is the critical task. For this purpose, the present paper focusses on fluid-structure interaction analysis of hybrid composite propeller with Carbon/Epoxy, R-Glass/Epoxy and S2-Glass/Epoxy t...

Finite Element Analysis of Fluid- Structure Interaction in a Blast- Resistant Window System

This paper describes the development of a finite element model capable of representing a blast-resistant flexible window (flex-window) system developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)/Airbase Technologies Division. Computational fluid-structure interaction finite element simulations are used to develop an improved understanding of the manner in which fluid phenomena, such as air com...

Blast Mitigation Analysis of Semi-Buried Structure

Semi-buried structures are most commonly used at first line of defense along the border between two countries. This demands investigation of their dynamic behaviour under blast loading. Herein, a semi-buried structure with foam sandwiched walls and buttresses to reduce the effect of blast is analysed. The effect of provision of different configurations of buttresses and foam core between two la...

Fluid-structure interaction with applications in biomechanics

In bioengineering applications problems of flow interacting with elastic solid are very common. We formulate the problem of interaction for an incompressible fluid and an incompressible elastic material in a fully coupled arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. The mathematical description and the numerical schemes are designed in such a way that more complicated constitutive relations (and ...
