Abstract
Partitioned analysis of large multidisciplinary engineering problems is widely utilized both for computational efficiency and software modularity. This talk begins with an introduction of its predecessors: a staggered solution procedure for the solution of coupled-field problems as originally conceived for treating structure-external acoustic interaction problems. It was first applied to the dynamic response analysis of submerged vehicles subjected to blast loads. After reviewing its applications during the early years of the methods developments and refinements, we assess the applicability as well as limitations of partitioned analysis methods in the ensuing years as applied to soil-structure interactions, pore fluid and supersaturated soil problems, aeroelasticity problems, thermal-structure and control-structure interactions. The presentation will conclude with recent developments and future potential of partitioned analysis methods in the new emerging multiphysics problems.
