In this work we consider the fluid-structure interaction in fully nonlinear setting, where different space discretization can be used. The model problem considers finite elements for structure and finite volume for fluid. The computations for such interaction problem are performed by implicit schemes, and the partitioned algorithm separating fluid from structural iterations. The formal proof is given to find the condition for convergence of this iterative procedure in the fully nonlinear setting. Several validation examples are shown to confirm the proposed convergence criteria of partitioned algorithm. The proposed strategy provides a very suitable basics for code-coupling implementation as discussed in Part II.

Residual stresses in components are a central issue in almost every manufacturing process, as they influence the performance of the final part. Regarding hot forming processes, there is a great potential for defining a targeted residual stress state, as many adjustment parameters, such as deformation state or temperature profile, are available that influence residual stresses. To ensure appropriate numerical modeling of residual stresses in hot forming processes, comprehensive material characterization and suitable multiscale Finite Element (FE) simulations are required. In this paper, experimental and numerical investigations of thermo-mechanically processed steel alloy 1.3505 (DIN 100Cr6) are presented that serve as a basis for further optimization of numerically modeled residual stresses. For this purpose, cylindrical upsetting tests at high temperature with subsequently cooling of the parts in the media air or water are carried out. Additionally, the process is simulated on the macroscale and compared to the results based on the experimental investigations. Therefore, the experimentally processed specimens are examined regarding the resulting microstructure, distortions, and residual stresses. For the investigation on a smaller scale, a numerical model is set up based on the state-data of the macroscopic simulation and experiments, simulating the transformation of the microstructure using phase-field theory and FE analysis on micro- and meso-scopic level.
