Building a whole vessel model ,and make use of FLUENT to calculate the resistance and surface pressure of the vessel in a certain speed . Compile a user-defined function, in which the numerical wave channel has been developed, thus the surface pressure was calculated in two kinds of special conditions, hogging and sagging, and then by using of the Fluid-solid coupling method, the surface pressure was exported to ANSYS.The method uses a same hull model in the flow field and the structure calculation process, avoiding the loss and distortion of information in the previous model transformation , and the calculated results can analyze more accurately the stress and deformation of the hull. The results for performance assessment of the vessel are effective and the calculation method can be a reference in the structure optimization design of vessels.

In order to improve the accuracy of stress analysis of blade wheels, one way Fluid- Structure Interaction method was introduced based on the comparisons of existing methods. Finite element analysis software ANSYS along with CFD software FLUENT were comprehensively used for the strength analysis of dual-chamber couplings. According to the simulation results from CFD, the node loads at the interface of pump wheel and the working fluid were obtained and the torque and axial force were predicated. Then the static stress of pump wheel was analyzed with ANSYS. The detail processes were described in this paper. The results show that the blades of pump wheel is loaded by alternating forces, and the maximum stress, which is 64MPa, locates at the junction area of the blades and shell. And the coupling analyzed in this study meets the strength requirement.

Taking the crankshaft of the emulsion pump with high pressure and large discharge typed of BRW550/31.5 as the research object, we established the 3D solid model for integral crankshaft under Pro/E environment and made the finite element analyses of the crankshaft with two bearing and three bearing supporting structures. The stress and deformation situations of integral crankshaft under two different supporting structures were obtained and the superiority of the latter was verified. The results provide the theoretical basis for the optimization design of the crankshaft and the development of the emulsion pump with high pressure and large discharge.

The fluid–structure interaction (FSI) effect has a significant impact on the static and dynamic performance of aerostatic spindles, which should be fully considered when developing a new product. To enhance the overall performance of aerostatic spindles, a two-round optimization design method for aerostatic spindles considering the FSI effect is proposed in this article. An aerostatic spindle is optimized to elaborate the design procedure of the proposed method. In the first-round design, the geometrical parameters of the aerostatic bearing were optimized to improve its stiffness. Then, the key structural dimension of the aerostatic spindle is optimized in the second-round design to improve the natural frequency of the spindle. Finally, optimal design parameters are acquired and experimentally verified. This research guides the optimal design of aerostatic spindles considering the FSI effect.

The effect of track-seeking on off-track residual vibrations of the head-gimbal assembly (HGA) is investigated for air and helium environments using the so-called “fluid dynamic mesh” method and the “fluid-structure interaction” method. Three different angular acceleration profiles (square wave, triangular wave and sinusoidal wave) are investigated as a function of seek time (10 ms and 5 ms). Results show that smoothening of sharp transitions of the seek profile improves the performance of off-track residual vibrations during track-following and shortens the track-following time of the head positioning servo system. In addition, the effect of lateral flow (windage) on off-track residual vibrations during track-following must be considered for a square wave angular acceleration profile. Simulation results show that helium improves the track-following accuracy compared to air due to the lower windage forces acting on the HGA. We observe that the sinusoidal wave angular acceleration performs best among the three angular acceleration profiles investigated. Furthermore, seek time is found to have only a small effect on off-track residual vibrations during track-following.

Abstract The dragonfly wings provide insights for designing an efficient biomimetic micro air vehicle (BMAV). In this regard, this study focuses on investigating the effect of the pterostigma weight loading and its spatial location on the forewings of dragonfly by using the fluid–structure interaction simulation. This study also investigates the effect of change in the wing elasticity and density on the wing performance. The forewing, which mimics the real dragonfly wing, is flat with a 47.5 mm span and a 0.4 mm thickness. The wing was set to cruise at 3 m/s with a constant flapping motion at a frequency of 25 Hz. This study shows that a small increase of pterostigma loading (11% of wing weight) at the tip of the wing significantly improves the lift to drag ratio, CL/CD, which has 129.16% increment in comparison with no loading. The lift to drag ratio depends on the pterostigma location, pterostigma loading, elastic modulus and density. The results of this study can be used as a reference in future BMAV wing optimization design.
