Partitioned strategies for optimization in FSI

In this paper the possibility of the optimization of coupled problems in partitioned approaches is discussed. As a special focus, surface coupled problems of fluid-structure interaction are considered. Well established methods of optimization are analyzed for usage in the context of coupled problems and in particular for a solution through...

Simulation of fluid-structure-interaction with free form membrane structures using an implicit coupling scheme with adaptive under relaxation

Due to their special load carrying behavior, membrane structures are using the material most efficiently. As a consequence, the realized structures are extremely light but susceptible to flow induced effects. The missing bending stiffness results in a complex coupling of stress state and membrane shape. This necessitates special form finding...
