By constructing the block matrix coupling equation of the multi-body system including the hull, the rake arm and the wave compensator and taking the fluid-structure interaction added mass as rigid body added mass, the dynamic response characteristics of the hull and the wave compensator and the influence of the fluid-structure interaction on the rake arm posture are comprehensively considered to simulate the trailing suction dredger, which can improve the analysis accuracy when the rake arm posture is analyzed based on the block matrix coupling equation of the multi-body system.

[0025] Specifically, in the multi-body coupling system, the rigid body can be understood as a non-deformable component with almost unchanged geometric shape and size, which only makes overall translation or rotation movement; the flexible body can be understood as a deformable component which can be elastically deformed, and its movement needs to consider both the overall rigid body movement and the local deformation; the rigid body added mass can be understood as a virtual mass added to the rigid body by the inertia effect of the surrounding medium (such as fluid) when the rigid body interacts with the medium, which affects the overall inertia characteristics of the system.
