Abstract
For the light structures immersed in water, a full fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has to be considered when structural acoustics is analyzed. However, the computation costs for the FSI prediction and optimization is always huge. The Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method (FMBEM) is one of the most widely used methods to accelerate the computations. Meanwhile, sensitivity analysis for FSI problems is the most time-consuming part of gradient-based optimization strategies. In this research, a FMBEM-based sensitivity analysis is applied to a practical underwater model’s structural-acoustic optimization. Object function that represents the overall radiated sound power are investigated, where the damping material thickness in some specific areas were chosen as design parameters. An improvement of the object functions are found within a limited number of function evaluations. The FEM/FMBEM based sensitivity analysis is used to calculate the sensitivity of the object function to the design parameters. The method of moving asymptotes (MMA) is chosen as the optimization algorithm. The efficiency of this optimization strategy applied on FSI practical model is investigated in detail.
