Abstract
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) plays an important role on dynamic responses and failures of polymer composite structures as they are subjected to dynamic loading while in contact with fluids, mainly water. This chapter presents various case studies associated with FSI of composite structures in order to understand and predict the composite structural behaviors under FSI. The study considered open structures in contact with water on only one or both sides, closed structures containing fluids, separated structures coupled by fluids, and structures travelling in fluids. Both experimental and numerical studies were conducted to complement each other. Because the effect of FSI on polymer composite structures is so significant, FSI can change the dynamic motions, critical failure loads, potential failure locations, etc.
