Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer simulation technology, and in particular to a simulation method and related equipment for a thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupled domain free element of a key component. Background Technology

[0002] Hypersonic vehicles (> Mach 5) face extreme acoustic loads (sound pressure levels exceeding 175 dB, frequency range 10-10000 Hz) during launch, transonic flight, and hypersonic cruise, as well as extreme thermal loads (local temperatures reaching 1650°C) caused by aerodynamic heating. These loads are comprised of intake noise from the air intake, engine exhaust noise, and surface aerodynamic noise. Under the coupled effects of this high sound pressure, wideband noise, and high-temperature environment, thin-walled structures of the vehicle are prone to acoustic fatigue. Therefore, conducting multi-field coupled thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration analysis to accurately predict the dynamic response of critical structures under real-world conditions has become a key challenge and urgent requirement in vehicle structural design.

[0003] Currently, numerical methods for studying structural dynamic response, especially acoustic-vibration coupling problems, are mostly concentrated on the finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), and their hybrid forms. Although these methods are widely used, they still face limitations in terms of computational efficiency, model adaptability, and solution stability when dealing with the aforementioned strongly coupled, multiphysics problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to address the above problems by proposing a domain-specific free element simulation method and related equipment for the thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupling of key components. This method achieves high-precision simulation of the strong thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupling effect and overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods in terms of computational efficiency and stability.

[0005] A simulation method for thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupled domain free element of a key component, the method comprising: Step S1: Establish a computational domain, which includes an acoustic domain and a structural domain. The set of the acoustic domain and the structural domain constitutes the computational domain, and the intersection of the acoustic domain and the structural domain is empty. The coupling interface of the acoustic domain and the structural domain satisfies the continuity conditions of force and displacement. The acoustic domain describes the variation of sound pressure with time and space through a wave equation. The structural domain adopts a thermoelastic control equation that introduces an equivalent thermal traction term corresponding to the steady-state temperature field to reflect the influence of temperature on structural stiffness and deformation. Boundary conditions are applied to the acoustic domain and the structural domain respectively. Step S2: Divide the acoustic domain into several regular or irregular acoustic subdomains, divide the structural domain into several regular or irregular structural subdomains, construct acoustic finite element elements in each acoustic subdomain, construct structural finite element elements in each structural subdomain, further discretize the acoustic finite element elements and the structural finite element elements into scattered points, generate collocation elements for each scattered point based on the scattered points around it, and use isoparametric element shape functions to describe the field variable interpolation relationship of any point in the collocation element; Step S3: Based on the position of the node within the computational domain, divide the node into acoustic domain nodes, structural domain nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, and acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes; further divide the acoustic domain nodes into acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, and acoustic external boundary nodes; and divide the structural domain nodes into structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes; establish discrete control equations for the acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes, acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, acoustic external boundary nodes, structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes, respectively. Step S4: Combine the discrete control equations of each node to obtain a system equation set, solve the system equation set, calculate the displacement and sound pressure, and complete the multiphysics coupling analysis of the computational domain.

[0006] A simulation system for a key component with thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupling in a domain of free elements, the system comprising: A computational domain establishment module is provided, comprising an acoustic domain and a structural domain. The set of the acoustic domain and the structural domain constitutes the computational domain, and the intersection of the acoustic domain and the structural domain is empty. The coupling interface between the acoustic domain and the structural domain satisfies the continuity conditions of force and displacement. The acoustic domain describes the variation of sound pressure with time and space using a wave equation, and the structural domain adopts a thermoelastic control equation that introduces an equivalent thermal traction term corresponding to the steady-state temperature field, applying boundary conditions to the acoustic domain and the structural domain respectively. The domain division module is used to divide the acoustic domain into several acoustic subdomains and the structural domain into several structural subdomains. An acoustic finite element unit is constructed within each acoustic subdomain, and a structural finite element unit is constructed within each structural subdomain. The acoustic and structural finite element units are further discretized into scattered points. Each scattered point generates a collocation element based on its surrounding scattered points. An isoparametric element shape function is used to describe the field variable interpolation relationship at any point within the collocation element. A discrete model building module is used to classify the nodes into acoustic domain nodes, structural domain nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, and acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes according to their positions in the computational domain; to classify the acoustic domain nodes into acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, and acoustic external boundary nodes; and to classify the structural domain nodes into structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes; and to establish discrete control equations for the acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes, acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, acoustic external boundary nodes, structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes, respectively.

[0008] A computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of the thermal-acoustic-vibration coupled domain free element simulation method for key components as described above.

[0009] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention will have the following beneficial effects: 1) This invention simulates the dynamic response of a sound field to a structure by establishing a computational domain that includes an acoustic domain and a structural domain (the set of the acoustic domain and the structural domain constitutes the computational domain, and the intersection of the acoustic domain and the structural domain is empty, and the coupling interface of the acoustic domain and the structural domain satisfies the continuity condition of force and displacement).

[0010] 2) The thermoelastic control equation of the structural domain introduces the equivalent thermal traction term corresponding to the steady-state temperature field, so that the simulation can take into account the effect of temperature.

[0011] 3) Discretization is based on the domain-specific free element method. First, subdomains are divided, and then collocational elements are generated within the subdomains. The field variable interpolation relationship at any point within the collocational elements is described by isoparametric element shape functions. By classifying the nodes, different discrete control equations are used for nodes of different categories. The discrete control equations of all nodes are combined to establish a system equation set. Solving the system equation set enables the numerical solution of the coupled system in the time domain. This solution method can accurately capture the multi-field coupled response characteristics such as thermal deformation, structural vibration, and acoustic radiation without relying on traditional element division. It provides an accurate numerical basis for the comprehensive performance evaluation of structures in complex thermal-mechanical-acoustic-vibration service environments.

[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a simulation method for thermo-acoustic-vibration coupled domain free element, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Reference Figure 3 A computational domain is established, comprising an acoustic domain and a structural domain. The set of the acoustic and structural domains constitutes the computational domain, and the intersection of the acoustic and structural domains is empty. The coupling interface between the acoustic and structural domains satisfies the continuity conditions of force and displacement. The acoustic domain describes the variation of sound pressure with time and space using a wave equation, while the structural domain adopts a thermoelastic control equation that introduces an equivalent thermal traction term corresponding to the steady-state temperature field to reflect the influence of temperature on structural stiffness and deformation. Boundary conditions are applied to the acoustic and structural domains respectively.

[0017] In this step, the acoustic domain is used to describe the propagation characteristics of sound waves in the sound transmission medium, while the structural domain is used to characterize the structural dynamic response under thermal loads. The two domains achieve strong coupling at the coupling interface through displacement continuity and surface force equilibrium conditions, thereby accurately reflecting the mutual influence between the sound field and structural vibration under thermal conditions, and thus completing the thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupled response analysis of the structure under complex loads.

[0018] In the coupled system, the acoustic domain primarily describes the variation of sound pressure with time and space through the wave equation; the structural domain introduces an equivalent thermal traction term corresponding to the steady-state temperature field into the thermoelastic control equation to reflect the influence of temperature on structural stiffness and deformation. This coupled modeling and interface-based collaborative solution strategy allows for the simultaneous solving of the dynamic response relationships among the four fields of heat, force, vibration, and sound within a unified computational framework, providing theoretical support for the transient response calculation of complex thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupled systems.

[0019] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the wave equation is:

[0020] in, For sound pressure, For the speed of sound, For internal source terms, For the density of the medium, For Hamiltonian operators, It is a spatial coordinate vector. It is a time variable. For the acoustic domain.

[0021] The boundary conditions for the wave equation in the acoustic domain include three types: (a) Sound pressure boundary conditions, where the sound pressure on such boundaries is a given value:

[0022] For the boundary, in particular, when given the sound pressure boundary When the amplitude is 0, this type of boundary is also called an acoustic soft boundary, such as the free boundary of an open space or the boundary of a flexible membrane. When sound waves reach this boundary, they will be reflected with the same amplitude but opposite phase. When the value is non-zero, it can simulate a scenario where "the boundary itself is a sound source" (such as when the sound pressure on the surface of the loudspeaker diaphragm is known), and directly radiate sound waves into the domain.

[0023] (b) Structural acceleration boundary conditions, where the normal acceleration of the medium on such boundaries is a given value:

[0024] in, The direction of the outward normal to the boundary. Given a normal acceleration... When the amplitude is 0, this type of boundary is also called an acoustic hard boundary, such as a rigid wall or a metal surface. When sound waves reach this boundary, they will be reflected with the same amplitude and phase. When the value is non-zero, it can simulate the scenario of "structural vibration driving sound field" (such as the sound waves generated by the vibration of machine shell), and indirectly calculate the sound pressure gradient at the boundary through structural acceleration, and then radiate sound waves into the domain.

[0025] (c) Impedance boundary conditions, where the acoustic impedance on such boundaries is a given value:

[0026] When the acoustic impedance given on an impedance boundary is equal to the acoustic impedance of the acoustic medium in the acoustic domain, this type of boundary is also called an absorbing boundary. When the incident sound wave reaches this boundary, it will be completely absorbed and will not affect the computational domain. It is used to simulate an infinite sound field. When the right-hand side of equation (4) approaches 0, the impedance boundary approaches the acoustic hard boundary. Therefore, when the acoustic impedance on the boundary is much greater than the acoustic impedance of the sound transmission medium, the boundary can achieve an effect similar to the acoustic hard boundary.

[0027] The thermoelastic governing equation of the structural domain can be expressed as:

[0028] in, For stress tensor; For structural density; The damping coefficient; For physical strength; For the problem dimension; repeating indicators To express summation, For structural domain, For displacement.

[0029] Stress tensor The strain tensor can be used through the following constitutive relation. and temperature T This means that a thermal stress term is introduced to reflect the effect of temperature on structural stiffness and deformation in an equivalent thermal traction manner, thereby considering the thermal load effect caused by the temperature field in the governing equations:

[0030] If the material is isotropic and linear thermoelasticity is used, the strain tensor in equation (6) Thermally corrected elastic constitutive tensor subscript Indices for spatial coordinates, used to describe the linear relationship between stress and strain in elastic materials in different directions, thermal term coefficients. The following correspondence exists:

[0031]

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] in, Shear modulus; Poisson's ratio; The coefficient of linear expansion; It has symmetry, that is .

[0035] Substituting equation (7) into equation (6), and then substituting the result into equation (5), we obtain the second-order partial differential equation of the thermoelastic control equation of the structural domain, which can be expressed as:

[0036] in, For the elastic constitutive tensor, the subscript is... Indices for spatial coordinates are used to describe the linear relationship between stress and strain in elastic materials in different directions. For temperature, For displacement, It is a spatial coordinate vector. It is a time variable. The coefficient of thermal term, For structural density; The damping coefficient; For physical strength; For the problem dimension; repeating indicators To express summation, This is a structural domain.

[0037] Boundary conditions for a structural domain include two types: (a) Displacement boundary conditions, where the displacement on such boundaries is a given value:

[0038] (b) Surface force boundary conditions, where the surface forces on such boundaries are given values:

[0039] Substituting equations (6) and (7) into equation (11), we get:

[0040] The acoustic domain and structural domain can establish an acoustic-structural coupling relationship through displacement continuity conditions and surface force equilibrium conditions.

[0041] (a) Displacement continuity condition: The vibration displacement of the acoustic medium and the structure at the interface is the same. Since it is more convenient to establish equations based on acceleration in the acoustic field, and the displacement continuity condition is equivalent to the acceleration continuity condition, considering equation (3), the coupling equation can be written as:

[0042] (b) Surface force equilibrium condition: the surface force on the structural domain at the coupling interface is equal to the sound pressure in the acoustic domain. Considering equation (11), the coupling equation can be written as:

[0043] Equations (13) and (14) are the coupling conditions at the thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupling interface. These conditions can reflect the interaction between sound waves and structures, thus forming a strongly coupled acoustic-vibration system.

[0044] The initial conditions throughout the computational domain, including sound pressure and its first time derivative in the acoustic domain, and displacement and velocity in the structural domain, can be expressed as:

[0045] in, , .

[0046] Step S2: Divide the acoustic domain into several regular or irregular acoustic subdomains, and divide the structural domain into several regular or irregular structural subdomains. Construct acoustic finite element elements in each acoustic subdomain and structural finite element elements in each structural subdomain. Further discretize the acoustic and structural finite element elements into scattered points. Generate collocation elements for each scattered point based on the surrounding scattered points. Use isoparametric element shape functions to describe the field variable interpolation relationship at any point within the collocation element.

[0047] In this step, the present invention employs the domain-specific free element method, which divides the acoustic domain and the structural subdomain into several subdomains, making it applicable to complex geometric models.

[0048] In the process of domain partitioning, selecting higher-order elements from the finite element method can effectively avoid the calculation failure caused by the distortion of collocation elements in the traditional free element method, while maintaining high efficiency and numerical stability, making it applicable to complex geometric models and having high computational accuracy.

[0049] Specifically, in one particular embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 It includes the acoustic domain and the structural domain 5. Based on the geometric characteristics and material distribution of the structure, the complex overall acoustics is divided into several regular or irregular acoustic subdomains 1 / 2A / 3A / 4 / 6. Figure 4 Enlarged views of the bolded subdomains 2A and 3A are shown below. Figure 5 As shown, acoustic subdomain interface 7 is the interface between acoustic subdomains 2B and 3B. Each acoustic subdomain is divided into quadrilateral finite element elements 8. The element nodes are scattered point sets formed within the subdomain. Each node generates collocation elements 9 based on the surrounding nodes. Its enlarged view is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the collocation unit includes 9 collocation points.

[0050] To facilitate more stable subsequent calculations, especially for subdomains with complex shapes, it is preferable to use mapping techniques to transfer the collocation points from the global coordinate system. Transform to a coordinate system defined in the local coordinate system The rule calculation domain is as follows.

[0051] Mapping can be performed using the following shape functions:

[0052] in, This represents the number of mapping nodes used in the point allocation unit.

[0053] For two-dimensional problems, 8-node or 12-node elements are typically used. For three-dimensional problems, 20-node or 34-node elements are typically used. For two-dimensional 8-node elements:

[0054] For a 20-node 3D element:

[0055] In equations (17) and (18), For the first The shape function of each node, also called the interpolation function, is a function of the natural coordinates of any point within the element. Among them, the node numbers in equations (17) and (18) are consistent with the node numbers of the elements used in the ordinary finite element method.

[0056] In this step, to balance the ability to describe complex geometries with the simplicity of numerical implementation, the isoparametric element technique, commonly used in the finite element method, is employed to discretize the structural and acoustic domains when constructing collocational elements. Taking a two-dimensional problem as an example, the isoparametric element technique uses geometric mapping to transform the regular local coordinates... Mapping to physical coordinate system Isoparametric transformations between them.

[0057] To achieve interpolation of local variables, this invention employs Lagrange isoparametric elements. For a one-dimensional Lagrange element, its shape function can be expressed by the interpolation formula:

[0058] in, For local coordinates, The number of nodes in that direction. This represents the node's index in the local coordinate direction. Based on the one-dimensional shape function rules, a three-dimensional Lagrange isoparametric element is further constructed to describe the interpolation relationship of field variables at any point within the three-dimensional collocation element:

[0059] in, These represent the number of nodes along the three local coordinate directions, with subscripts indicating the number of nodes. Based on node sequence number The permutation and combination are determined. For the commonly used 27-node three-dimensional hexahedral element, the number of nodes in the three directions is usually taken as... .

[0060] Shape functions allow interpolation of element variables using nodal values ​​within the element. For the global computational domain, spatial coordinates... Displacement Harmony and sound pressure It can be represented as:

[0061] As shown in equation (21), the shape function is used to interpolate field variables within the element through nodal values. To further obtain the gradient and higher-order derivatives of the variables with respect to spatial coordinates, we can first calculate the partial derivatives of the shape function with respect to spatial coordinates. Let... For nodes The shape function in the configuration unit is a local coordinate. The explicit function. According to the chain rule, the shape function with respect to spatial coordinates can be obtained. The first and second partial derivatives, i.e. and Accordingly, arbitrary node variables The derivative with respect to spatial coordinates can be expressed as:

[0062]

[0063] in, In this invention, sound pressure is represented. Variables and displacements Quantity.

[0064] In the above equations, the first two derivatives of the shape functions can be obtained directly from the following equations:

[0065]

[0066] in, It is a Jacobian matrix.

[0067] After obtaining the spatial partial derivatives of the unit shape function with respect to the global coordinates, the control equations, boundary conditions and coupling conditions in the entire computational domain can be uniformly expressed as shape functions and their spatial partial derivatives according to equations (21), (22) and (23), and a system equation set can be established with the sound pressure and displacement of each node as the main unknowns.

[0068] Step S3: Based on the node's position within the computational domain, divide the nodes into acoustic domain nodes, structural domain nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, and acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes. Divide the acoustic domain nodes into acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, and acoustic external boundary nodes. Divide the structural domain nodes into structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes. Establish discrete control equations for acoustic-structural coupling interface nodes, acoustic-structural coupling interface external boundary nodes, acoustic interior nodes, acoustic subdomain interface nodes, acoustic external boundary nodes, structural interior nodes, structural subdomain interface nodes, and structural external boundary nodes, respectively.

[0069] In this step, by classifying nodes according to their positions within the computational domain and using different unit control equations for different nodes, the physical differences between the acoustic domain and the structural domain can be accurately described.

[0070] For nodes in the acoustic domain, considering a homogeneous medium, and substituting equations (22) and (23) into equation (1), we can obtain the discrete equations for the nodes inside the acoustic domain:

[0071] For an acoustic subdomain interface node, which is shared by two or more subdomains, the acceleration balance condition is satisfied, i.e.:

[0072] in, This represents the number of faces in the subdomain (i.e., element) containing this node. Indicates the node at the 1st Normal acceleration on each subdomain surface, superscript This indicates that the node is located on the subdomain interface. For different subdomains, this represents the node's local coordinates. There are also differences; for example, a UI node shared by two subdomains can be represented as... Finally, the discrete equations for the acoustic subdomain interface nodes can be obtained:

[0073] in, Indicates the first The outward normal direction of each face.

[0074] For external boundary nodes in the acoustic domain, compared to subdomain interface nodes, the sum of vibration accelerations in all directions at the node equals the surface vibration acceleration. The discrete equation can be expressed as:

[0075] Among them, superscript This indicates that the node is located on the external boundary, and the acceleration term in equation (29) has different forms for different boundary conditions. For the sound pressure boundary, the sound pressure value at the node is known and does not need to be solved by the above equation; for the structural acceleration boundary... For impedance boundaries, there are .

[0076] For the internal nodes in the structural domain, substituting equations (22) and (23) into equation (9) yields the discrete equations for the internal nodes:

[0077] For the boundary nodes of the subdomains within the structural domain, the surface force equilibrium condition is satisfied, namely:

[0078] Substituting equations (12), (22), and (23) into equation (31), we obtain the discrete equations for the interface nodes of the structural subdomains:

[0079] For the external boundary nodes in the structural domain, the right side of equation (31) is the boundary surface force, compared to the subdomain interface node equation. Therefore, the discrete equation of the external boundary nodes of the structure can be expressed as:

[0080] For the coupling interface node between the acoustic and structural domains, applying the above coupling conditions, i.e., equations (13) and (14), the discrete equations of the acoustic-structural coupling interface node can be derived:

[0081]

[0082] Similarly, for the external boundary nodes of the coupling boundary between the acoustic and structural domains, applying the above coupling conditions, and adding normal acceleration and surface force to the right side of equations (34a) and (34b), the discrete equations for the external boundary nodes of the acoustic-structural coupling interface are derived:

[0083]

[0084] in, The expression is the same as in equation (29).

[0085] Step S4: Combine the discrete control equations of each node to obtain the system equation set, solve the system equation set, calculate the displacement and sound pressure, and complete the multiphysics coupling analysis of the computational domain.

[0086] The final system of equations can be expressed as:

[0087] in, Let be the coefficient matrix of the unknown sound pressure in each equation. This is the coefficient matrix of the unknown displacement in the acceleration continuity condition (discrete equation (34a)). Let be the coefficient matrix of the unknown sound pressure in the surface force equilibrium condition (discrete equation (34b)). This is the coefficient matrix of the unknown displacements in each equation. This represents the boundary condition vector in the acoustic domain. is the boundary condition vector in the structural domain.

[0088] When solving the time-domain thermo-acoustic-vibration coupling problem, At each moment, it is necessary to formulate the system equations and solve for the unknown physical quantities at each node at that moment. In a dimensional problem, if the discretized computational domain contains Nodes in an acoustic domain Nodes in a solid domain and If there are nodes on the coupling boundary, then the coefficient matrix has both rows and columns. Furthermore, the coefficient matrix is ​​a sparse matrix.

[0089] Preferably, in solving the system equations, the Newmark difference scheme is used to approximate the time derivatives of the unknowns, that is, it is assumed that the second time derivatives of the unknowns occur within a time interval. The internal linear variation is investigated, and the following difference schemes for the unknowns and their first time derivatives are proposed:

[0090]

[0091] in, For time step, and To determine the parameters based on accuracy and stability requirements, this invention employs the unconditionally stable Newmark difference scheme, i.e. , .

[0092] By parameters , Substituting into equations (37) and (38) above, we can obtain:

[0093]

[0094] in, This represents sound pressure or displacement. By substituting equations (39) and (40) into the above discrete equations containing time derivatives, the time derivatives of unknown sound pressure and displacement can be expressed using known sound pressure, displacement, and their practical derivatives.

[0095] In the acoustic domain, substituting equation (39) into equation (26) yields the governing equations for the internal nodes in the Newmark difference scheme, which can be expressed as:

[0096] Substituting equation (40) into the discrete equation (29) of the impedance boundary, we obtain the discrete equation of the outer boundary node of the impedance boundary under the Newmark difference scheme, which can be expressed as:

[0097] In the structural domain, substituting equations (39) and (40) into equation (30), we obtain the governing equations for the internal nodes under the Newmark difference scheme, which can be expressed as:

[0098] In the coupled interface, substituting equation (39) into equation (34a), we obtain the discrete equations of the interface nodes under the Newmark difference scheme, which can be expressed as:

[0099] Similarly, substituting equation (40) into equation (35a), we obtain the discrete equations for the external interface nodes of the impedance boundary under the Newmark differential scheme, which can be expressed as:

[0100]

[0101] Therefore, a time-progression scheme for solving the thermo-mechanical-acoustic-vibration coupling problem using the domain-free element method is constructed. Based on the initial condition (15), the second-order derivatives of sound pressure and displacement with respect to time are calculated by substituting them into the governing equations (1) and (9). Within each time step, the acoustic-structure coupled system equations are reassembled based on the known quantities from the previous time step, and the sound pressure at each node at the current time is obtained by solving these equations. and displacement And by using equations (37) and (38), the first and second time derivatives of the sound pressure and displacement at each node at that moment can be obtained, and the calculation of the next time step can be performed.

[0102] Observing all the final discrete equations, including equations (28), (29), (32), (33), (34b), (35b), and (41-45), it can be seen that the coefficients of the unknowns, sound pressure and displacement, in the system equations are independent of time. Starting from the second time step, it is only necessary to recalculate the right-hand vector of the system equations. coefficient matrix It can be solved directly in the first time step, and remains unchanged throughout the entire calculation process.

[0103] This invention achieves numerical solution of coupled systems in the time domain through spatial discretization and time difference schemes. This solution method can accurately capture the multi-field coupled response characteristics such as thermal deformation, structural vibration and sound field radiation without relying on traditional element division, providing an accurate numerical basis for the comprehensive performance evaluation of structures in complex thermal-mechanical-acoustic-vibration service environments.

[0104] The key component thermo-acoustic-vibration coupled domain free element simulation method of the present invention also includes: Step S5: Divide the structural domain into finite element units (for domain subdivision processing), then discretize the finite element units into scattered points. Each scattered point generates collocation elements based on its surrounding scattered points, and uses the density of the collocation elements as the design variable for topology optimization.
