The Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes provide rapid (approximately six months), refereed publication
of topical items, longer than ordinary journal articles but shorter and less formal than most
monographs and textbooks. They are published in an attractive yet economical forma~ authors or
editors provide manuscripts typed to specifications, ready for photo-reproduction.

Preface
This text considers the problem of the dynamic fluid-structure interaction between a finite
elastic structure and the acoustic field in an unbounded fluid-filled exterior domain.
The exterior acoustic field is modelled through a boundary integral equation over the
structure surface. However, the classical boundary integral equation formulations of this
problem either have no solutions or do not have unique solutions at certain characteristic
frequencies (which depend on the surface geometry) and it is necessary to employ modified
boundary integral equation formulations which are valid for all frequencies. The particular
approach adopted here involves an arbitrary coupling parameter and the effect that this
parameter has on the stability and accuracy of the numerical method used to solve the
integral equation is examined.
The boundary integral analysis of the exterior acoustic problem is coupled with a finite
element analysis of the elastic structure in order to investigate the interaction between
the dynamic behaviour of the structure and the associated acoustic field. Recently there
has been some controversy over whether or not the coupled problem also suffers from
the non-uniqueness problems associated with the classical integral equation formulations
of the exterior acoustic problem. This question is resolved by demonstrating that .the
solution to the coupled problem is not unique at the characteristic frequencies and that
it is necessary to employ an integral equation formulation valid for all frequencies.
Numerical results are presented and discussed for both the uncoupled acoustic problem
and the coupled fluid-structure interaction problem for a number of axisymmetric and fully
three-dimensional problems. In particular, the method is applied to the coupled problem
of a piezoelectric ring sonar transducer transmitting an acoustic signal in water for which
reasonable agreement between the theoretical predictions and some experimental results
is observed.
