Abstract: Flexible structures driven by smart actuators are promising alternatives for aquatic bionic propulsion vehicles. However, the hydrodynamic effects induced by viscous fluids on the dynamic response of flexible structures remain an ongoing challenge. Thus, this article presents a fluid-structure interaction dynamic model of a flexible underwater structure actuated by macro fiber composite actuators, and the underwater multimodal vibration characteristics are studied. The model is based on the extended Hamilton's principle, which considers the effects of hydrodynamic forces. The segmented mode shape functions of the flexible structure are derived using the assumed mode method. The study shows that the first two mode shapes of the beam predicted by the model agrees with the experimental results. The underwater dynamic responses of the flexible structure in a board band covering the first two resonance frequencies are also investigated at different actuation levels. The underwater results indicate that the first two resonance frequencies are 1.05 and 6.1 Hz respectively, basically consistent with the simulation ones (1.07 and 6.61 Hz). Correspondingly, the maximum transverse deflections at the end of the beam are 4.81 and 1.31 mm respectively, which are slightly lower than the predicted values of 5.75 and 1.62 mm. Therefore, the validity of the proposed coupled dynamic model is verified, which can be utilized to predict the multimodal dynamic responses of underwater flexible structures actuated by MFC or other smart actuators.
