Model Order Reduction of Nonviscously Damped Structural Dynamic Models
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
A reduced order modeling capability has been developed to reduce the computational burden associated with time-domain solutions of structural dynamic models with linear viscoelastic materials. The discretized equations-of-motion produce convolution integrals resulting in a linear system with nonviscous damping forces. The challenge associated with the reduction of nonviscously damped, linear systems is the selection and computation of the appropriate modal basis to perform modal projection. The system produces a nonlinear eigenvalue problem that is challenging to solve and requires use of specialized algorithms not readily available in commercial finite element packages. This SAND report summarizes the LDRD discoveries of a reduction scheme developed for monolithic finite element models and provides preliminary investigations to extensions of the method using component mode synthesis. In addition, this report provides a background overview of structural dynamic modeling of structures with linear viscoelastic materials, and provides an overview of a new code capability in Sierra Structural Dynamics to output the system level matrices computed on multiple processors.
