Interface reduction technique for Enhanced Craig-Bampton method

Bondsman, Benjamin LU ; Ahn, Chang-uk and Kim, Jin-Gyun (2023) In Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing 208.
Abstract
Substructure coupling and model order reduction using Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) have, over recent years, gained considerable attention in the vibroacoustic analysis of complex structures. In the CMS methodology, the interior dynamics of each subcomponent in a substructured system are represented by a truncated set of normal modes within the lower frequency range, while all physical degrees of freedom (DOFs) at the interface are retained. In cases where there are many interconnected subcomponents within a system, in particular when these components are finely discretised in the Finite Element (FE) domain, the reduced system matrices may still involve a significant number of equations. This, in turn, leads to a considerable... (More)
Substructure coupling and model order reduction using Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) have, over recent years, gained considerable attention in the vibroacoustic analysis of complex structures. In the CMS methodology, the interior dynamics of each subcomponent in a substructured system are represented by a truncated set of normal modes within the lower frequency range, while all physical degrees of freedom (DOFs) at the interface are retained. In cases where there are many interconnected subcomponents within a system, in particular when these components are finely discretised in the Finite Element (FE) domain, the reduced system matrices may still involve a significant number of equations. This, in turn, leads to a considerable computational workload. To address this issue, further reduction of the system matrices concerning the interface DOFs by using a set of truncated interface modes can be considered. However, the accuracy of the reduced matrices depends on the representation of the truncated dynamics in the reduction process. In this work, two interface reduction techniques are presented to truncate the interface dynamics of the Enhanced Craig-Bampton (ECB) equations of motion. The first technique is a classical interface reduction approach that assumes decoupled internal and interface dynamics. The second approach is an extension of the first one by incorporating an additional coupling term that accounts for interactions between the truncated internal and interface dynamics. The performance of each interface reduction technique is evaluated by applying them to three practical engineering examples. In these instances, resonance frequencies, associated errors, transfer functions, and normal modes are compared to those obtained using both the classical CB method and the full model. (Less)
