Perfectly matched layer (PML) is known as one of the best methods to simulate infinite domains in many fields such as soil-structure interaction (SSI). The performance of PML is significantly affected by PML parameters selection. However, the way to select PML parameters still remains unclear. This study proposes a method for PML parameters determination for elastic wave propagation in two-dimensional (2D) media. The scaling and attenuation functions are developed in order to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of the PML. The proposed scheme is applied for a mixed PML in time domain. The finite element method (FEM) formulations of the PML are presented so that it can be easily applied to the existing codes. ABAQUS, a popular FEM code, is used for numerical applications in this study. The proposed PML is imported into ABAQUS by using a user-defined element (UEL) written in Fortran language. Six numerical analyses of SSI are implemented to prove the efficiency of the proposed PML. The numerical analyses cover many realistic problems, including free field, surface structure, and embedded structure problems. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed PML in terms of the accuracy and computational cost.

Vortex structure behind a flexible rectangular plate with sway motion and flow-induced vibration was experimentally investigated by wind tunnel experiment by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The flexible rectangular plate, which was made of a polyurethane block, was cantilevered on a flat plate. On the opposite end, top free end showed a sway motion in the downstream direction. Increasing sway angle, the top free end involved the flow-induced in-line vibration which has a small amplitude. This is a typical example of fluid-structure interaction problem. However more experimental research for the effects of the sway motion and the flow-induced vibration on vortex structure behind the rectangular plate is required. In this paper, we focus attention on the phase-averaged vortex structure when the amplitude of vibration is the largest and smallest case. PIV measurement was conducted to clarify the phase-averaged and the instantaneous vortex structure behind the swaying plate. We discussed the effect of sway motion and flow-induced vibration on vortex structure.

Experiments are performed to verify modeling techniques used in fluid-structure interaction codes that predict the response of liquid-filled piping systems to strong pressure pulses. Pressure pulses having a 150-μs rise time, a 2000-psi (13.8 MPa) magnitude, and a 3-ms duration are propagated into straight, water-filled Ni 200 pipes (3-in. (7.6-cm) O.D. 0.065-in. (0.165-cm) wall). Attenuation of the pressure pulse and the strain and deformation along the pipes are measured. The experiments are modeled in WHAM, a two-dimensional, finite-element, compressible fluid-structure interaction code. The experimental and analytical results are discussed in detail and are found to compare favorably.
