G. Allaire et al., HOMOGENIZATION AND BLOCH WAVE METHOD FOR FLUID TUBE BUNDLE INTERACTION, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 164(3-4), 1998, pp. 333-361
The aim of this paper is to investigate the problem of the vibrations
of large arrays of elastic rods immersed in a perfect incompressible f
luid. The case of an infinite spatially periodic bundle is firstly con
sidered leading to use the Bloch wave method in order to describe the
resonance spectrum of the coupled system. When the bundle is contained
in a bounded domain, the homogenization technique combined with the B
loch wave method allows to obtain the eigenspectrum which is formed of
two eigenfrequencies (of infinite multiplicity), and of a continuous
spectrum. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
