FEM/wideband FMBEM coupling for structural–acoustic design sensitivity analysis

A coupling algorithm based on the finite element method (FEM) and the wideband fast multipole boundary element method (wideband FMBEM) is proposed for acoustic fluid–structure interaction simulation and structural–acoustic design sensitivity analysis by using the direct differentiation method. The wideband fast multipole method (FMM), which is developed by combining the original FMM and the diagonal form FMM, is used to accelerate the...
