Abstract

Power flow method (PFM) is firstly applied to the structural analysis of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). By finite element analysis, the numerical model of AUV is established. The propulsive force of the propeller is calculated and the dynamic responses of AUV are discussed. The characteristics of power flow distribution in AUV are studied, and the optimization of AUV shape by PFM is developed. The results show that the performances of AUV's anti-vibration are improved. The present work may lay the foundation for the propagation characteristics of structural vibration power flow under the multi-source load excitations, and also provide a novel optimization approach for AUV shape.
