We propose a new fluid-structure algorithm based on a domain decomposition paradigm. The method is based on the principle “linearize first, then decompose” whereas the usual schemes are generally “nonlinear in subdomains”. The proposed approach is more attractive when the complexity of the structure is high, which is the case with the structural model used in this study (nonlinear 3D shell). Another contribution of this paper is to investigate the use of a Neumann-Neumann preconditioner for the linearized problem. In particular, it is shown that when this preconditioner is adequately balanced, it tends to the Dirichlet-Neumann preconditioner because of the heterogeneity of the fluid-structure problem.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the dynamic response of a lock subjected to the horizontal S0E component of the El Centro earthquake for empty and completely filled water chamber cases, by coupled fluid-structure analysis. Initially, the lock was studied by approximation, considering it similar to the case of a double piston coupled to a two-dimensional acoustic cavity (tank), representing a simplified analytical model of the fluid-structure problem. This analytical formulation can be compared with numerical results, in order to qualify the responses of the ultimate problem to be investigated. In all the analyses performed, modeling and numerical simulations were done using the finite element method (FEM), supported by the commercial software ANSYS.

Abstract The goal of this paper is to present various types of iterative solvers: gradient iteration, Newton’s method and a quasi-Newton method, for the finite element solution of elliptic problems arising in Gao type beam models (a geometrical type of nonlinearity, with respect to the Euler–Bernoulli hypothesis). Robust behaviour, i.e., convergence independently of the mesh parameters, is proved for these methods, and they are also tested with numerical experiments.
