Inthiswork, coupled numerical analysis ofinteracting acoustic anddynamic models isfocused. Inthiscontext,severalnumerical methods, suchasthe?nitedi?erencemethod,the?niteelement method, theboundary element method, meshless methods, andsoforth,areconsidered tomodel each subdomain of the coupled model, and multidomain decomposition techniques areapplied to deal with the coupling relations. Two basic coupling algorithms are discussed here, namely the explicit direct coupling approach and the implicit iterative coupling approach, which are formulated basedonexplicit/implicit time-marching techniques. Completely independent spatial andtemporal discretizations among theinteracting subdomains arepermitted, allowing optimal discretization for each sub-domain of the model to be considered. At the end of the paper, numerical results are presented, illustrating the performance and potentialities of the discussed methodologies. 1.Introduction Usually, an engineer is faced with the analysis of a problem where two or more di?erent physical systems interact with each other, so that the independent solution of any one systemisimpossiblewithoutsimultaneoussolutionoftheothers.Suchsystemsareknown ascoupled,andtheintensityofsuchcouplingisdependentonth
