Under support forces from static pressure bearings, the solid deformations of static pressure spindle or slide systems will affect their performance, especially for those with high load-carrying capacity and stiffness. This paper proposes a steady modeling method to study the effect of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) on the thrust stiffness of an H-shaped aerostatic spindle. The proposed method can be readily applied to different static pressure spindles or slides, and can save a lot of time compared with the transient method, which is generally used to consider the phenomenon of FSI. The method proposed in this study is more suitable for studying the performance of spindles and slides with high load-carrying capacity and stiffness, especially in the design phase. In this paper, solid deformations, pressure distributions and the thrust stiffness are all obtained based on this method. Moreover, the effects of the axial position of the spindle and the air film thickness on the thrust stiffness are studied. The proposed method is verified by experimental results. The calculation error of the proposed method is reduced by nearly 77% compared with the traditional method ignoring FSI.

This work intends to study the effect of aortic annulus eccentricity and leaflet rigidity on the performance, thrombogenic risk and calcification risk in bioprosthetic aortic valve replacements (BAVRs). To address these questions, a two-way immersed fluid-structure interaction (FSI) computational model was implemented in a high-performance computing (HPC) multi-physics simulation software, and validated against a well-known FSI benchmark. The aortic valve bioprosthesis model is qualitatively contrasted against experimental data, showing good agreement in closed and open states. Regarding the performance of BAVRs, the model predicts that increasing eccentricities yield lower geometric orifice areas (GOAs) and higher normalized transvalvular pressure gradients (TPGs) for healthy cardiac outputs during systole, agreeing with in vitro experiments. Regions with peak values of residence time are observed to grow with eccentricity in the sinus of Valsalva, indicating an elevated risk of thrombus formation for eccentric configurations. In addition, the computational model is used to analyze the effect of varying leaflet rigidity on both performance, thrombogenic and calcification risks with applications to tissue-engineered prostheses. For more rigid leaflets it predicts an increase in systolic and diastolic TPGs, and decrease in systolic GOA, which translates to decreased valve performance. The peak shear rate and residence time regions increase with leaflet rigidity, but their volume-averaged values were not significantly affected. Peak solid stresses are also analyzed, and observed to increase with rigidity, elevating risk of valve calcification and structural failure. To the authors' knowledge this is the first computational FSI model to study the effect of eccentricity or leaflet rigidity on thrombogenic biomarkers, providing a novel tool to aid device manufacturers and clinical practitioners.

As a result of its wide range of applications, FSI has grabbed the attention of researchers and scientists. In this study we consider an incompressible, laminar fluid flowing through the bifurcated channel. The wavy walls of the channel are considered elastic. Moreover, a magnetic field is applied towards the axial direction of the flow. Using a two-way fluid-structure interaction, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is used for coupling the problem. The problem is discretized using P 2 and P 1 finite element methods to approximate the displacement, pressure, and velocity. The linearized system of equations is solved using Newton's iterative scheme. The analysis is carried out for the Reynolds number and Hartman number. The ranges of the studied parameters are Reynolds number 300 & LE;R e & LE;1000 and Hartmann number 0 & LE;H a & LE;10 . The hemodynamic effects on the bifurcated channel and elastic walls are calculated using velocity, pressure, wall shear stresses (WSS), and loads at the walls. The study shows there is an increase in boundary load as the values of the Hartman number increase hence WSS increases. On the other hand, an increase in the Reynolds number increases the resistance forces hence velocity and WSS decrease. Also, numerical values of WSS for rigid and elastic walls are calculated. Studies showed that WSS decreases for the FSI case when compare to CFD (computational fluid dynamic) case.

Pipe vibration induced by water hammer frequently emerges in water conveyance system, especially in the hydropower plant or pumped storage power station with long diversion pipelines. This vibration in turn affects the hydraulic pulsation so that undesired fluid-structure interaction (FSI) arises. In this research, attention is given to a pipeline embedded in concrete. A six-equation model was derived to describe the fluid-pipe-concrete interaction considering Poisson coupling and junction coupling. With the elastic and homogeneous hypotheses, an iterative approach was proposed to solve this model, and the results were validated by experiment and classical water-hammer theory. Then dynamic FSI responses to water hammer were studied in a reservoir-pipe-valve physical system. Hydraulic pressure, pipe wall stress and axial motion were discussed with respect to different parameters of concrete. Results obtained by the two-equation model, four-equation model and six-equation model show characteristics of pressure wave and stress wave separately with and without FSI.

We present a method for computing fluid-structure interaction problems for multi body systems. The fluid flow equations are solved using a fractional-step method with the immersed boundary method proposed by Uhlmann (2005). The equations of the rigid bodies are solved using recursive algorithms proposed by Felis (2017). The two systems of equations are weakly coupled, so that the resulting method is cost-effective. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by comparison with two-and three-dimensional cases from the literature: the flapping of a flexible airfoil, the self propulsion of a plunging flexible plate, and the flapping of a flag in a free stream. As an illustration of the capabilities of the proposed method, two three-dimensional bioinspired applications are presented: an extension to three dimensions of the plunging flexible plate and a simple model of spider ballooning.

This study is concerned with the hydroelastic vibrations of sandwich micro-plates with functionally graded (FG) face sheets and metal core, interacting with sloshing liquid. For the purpose of the study, modified couple stress theory with variable length-scale parameter is applied to catch the small-scale effects of the structure. The mechanical properties of FG sandwich micro-plate and length scale parameter are supposed to be variable through the thickness of the structure. The displacement field is formulated based on fifth-order shear deformation theory which considers transverse shear stresses and rotary inertias. The liquid is assumed to be ideal, and the continuity equation is utilized to obtain liquid velocity potential associated with bulging and sloshing modes. After deriving kinetic and potential energies related to the micro-plate and liquid, Rayleigh-Ritz approach is applied to obtain vibrational characteristics of the system. Some comparison studies are made to confirm the reliability and efficacy of the present work. Finally, in the discussion section, wet frequencies of the sandwich micro-plate are analyzed in graphs and tables for various parameters.

This paper presents a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework that combines an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation with skeleton-based structural models consisting of force-based frame elements. For the first time in literature, a methodology is proposed to enable coupling between fluid and force-based frame elements through an ALE formulation. In the proposed methodology, communication between the fluid and skeleton-based domains is performed through a geometric model of the physical fluid- structure interface. With the use of force-based frame elements, the intent is to perform accurate FSI calculations in cases where axial, flexure, and shear motions dominate the structural responses. The proposed framework is evaluated against FSI problems involving steady and unsteady incompressible laminar flows and different structural models representing horizontal (beam) and vertical (column) solid members.

Blunt aortic injuries are common and severe in motor vehicle crash accidents (MVCAs), but the injury mechanisms, which can be categorised as kinematics and hydrodynamics aspects, remain to be uncertain. In this study, a finite element model was developed for the aorta-heart system with fluid-structure interaction methods, aimed to study both kinds of mechanisms simultaneously. The aortic blood flow was generated by simulating left ventricle contraction. This model was further integrated with a human body model to reconstruct a real car crash case. The aorta-heart model was validated against ventricular volume, blood pressure, velocity, flow rate and wall shear stress. The integrated model predicted aorta isthmus laceration and other injuries consistent with the case injury reports. The cardiac output during the accident was more intense than the physiological output, proving the ability of current simulation approach to capture the blood flow modification by the thoracic compressive loadings during accidents.

详细信息
In this work, we present a computational fluid-structure interaction (FSI) study for a healthy patient-specific pulmonary arterial tree using the unified continuum and variational multiscale (VMS) formulation we previously developed. The unified framework is particularly well-suited for FSI, as the fluid and solid sub-problems are addressed in essentially the same manner and can thus be uniformly integrated in time with the generalized-amethod. In addition, the VMS formulation provides a mechanism for large-eddy simulation in the fluid sub-problem and pressure stabilization in the solid sub-problem. The FSI problem is solved in a quasi-direct approach, in which the pressure and velocity in the unified continuum body are first solved, and the solid displacement is then obtained via a segregated algorithm and prescribed as a boundary condition for the mesh motion. Results of the pulmonary arterial FSI simulation are presented and compared against those of a rigid wall simulation. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
