The coupling procedure can readily be applied to three-dimensional problem, however for clarity, the problems to be presented are hmited to two-dimeusional domain. In the analyses, the cylindrical shell is modeled by simple beam elements （using FEM）, while the effects of the surrounding infinite fluid is modeled by the SBFEM. In it, no free surface and seabed are involved. Compared with Fan and his co-authors＇ works, the FEM-SBFEM coupling procedure is further verified to be feasible for shock waves by benchmark examples. Furthermore, parametric studies are performed and presented to gain insight into effects of the geometric and material properties of the cylindrical shell on its dynamic responses.展开更多

For simplicity, the dam with arbitrary upstream faces was assumed to be rigid and was subjected to a horizontal ground acceleration, while the reservoir with absorptive bottom was assumed to be semi-infinite. The reservoir was divided into two sub-domains： a near-field sub-domain and a far-field sub-domain. The near-field sub-domain with arbitrary geometry was modelled by the Finite Element Method （FEM）, while the effects of the far-field sub-domain which was assumed to be horizontal were described by a semi-analytical formation. The semi-analytical formulation involved the effect of absorptive reservoir bottom, as well as the radiation damping effect of a semi-infinite reservoir. A FEM/SBFEM coupling formulation was presented to solve dam-reservoir coupled problems. The accuracy and efficiency of the coupling formulation were demonstrated by computing some benchmark examples. Highly accurate results are produced even if the near-field sub-domain is very small.展开更多
