Title: Interface reduction for Hurty/Craig-Bampton substructured models: Review and improvements

Abstract

The Hurty/Craig-Bampton method in structural dynamics represents the interior dynamics of each subcomponent in a substructured system with a truncated set of normal modes and retains all of the physical degrees of freedom at the substructure interfaces. This makes the assembly of substructures into a reduced-order system model relatively simple, but means that the reduced-order assembly will have as many interface degrees of freedom as the full model. When the full-model mesh is highly refined, and/or when the system is divided into many subcomponents, this can lead to an unacceptably large system of equations of motion. To overcome this, interface reduction methods aim to reduce the size of the Hurty/Craig-Bampton model by reducing the number of interface degrees of freedom. This research presents a survey of interface reduction methods for Hurty/Craig-Bampton models, and proposes improvements and generalizations to some of the methods. Some of these interface reductions operate on the assembled system-level matrices while others perform reduction locally by considering the uncoupled substructures. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are highlighted and assessed through comparisons of results obtained from a variety of representative linear FE models.

Modal Substructuring of Geometrically Nonlinear Finite Element Models with Interface Reduction

Journal Article Kuether, Robert J. ; Allen, Matthew S. ; Hollkamp, Joseph J. - AIAA Journal

Substructuring methods have been widely used in structural dynamics to divide large, complicated finite element models into smaller substructures. For linear systems, many methods have been developed to reduce the subcomponents down to a low order set of equations using a special set of component modes, and these are then assembled to approximate the dynamics of a large scale model. In this paper, a substructuring approach is developed for coupling geometrically nonlinear structures, where each subcomponent is drastically reduced to a low order set of nonlinear equations using a truncated set of fixedinterface and characteristic constraint modes.

Modal Substructuring of Geometrically Nonlinear Finite-Element Models

Journal Article Kuether, Robert J. ; Allen, Matthew S. ; Hollkamp, Joseph J. - AIAA Journal

The efficiency of a modal substructuring method depends on the component modes used to reduce each subcomponent model. Methods such as Craig–Bampton have been used extensively to reduce linear finite-element models with thousands or even millions of degrees of freedom down orders of magnitude while maintaining acceptable accuracy. A novel reduction method is proposed here for geometrically nonlinear finite-element models using the fixed-interface and constraint modes of the linearized system to reduce each subcomponent model. The geometric nonlinearity requires an additional cubic and quadratic polynomial function in the modal equations, and the nonlinear stiffness coefficients are determined by applying amore »« less

Formulation of an experimental substructure model using a Craig-Bampton based transmission simulator

Journal Article Kammer, Daniel C. ; Allen, Matthew S. ; Mayes, Randall L. - Journal of Sound and Vibration

An experimental–analytical substructuring is attractive when there is motivation to replace one or more system subcomponents with an experimental model. This experimentally derived substructure can then be coupled to finite element models of the rest of the structure to predict the system response. The transmission simulator method couples a fixture to the component of interest during a vibration test in order to improve the experimental model for the component. The transmission simulator is then subtracted from the tested system to produce the experimental component. This method reduces ill-conditioning by imposing a least squares fit of constraints between substructure modal coordinatesmore »« less

A Comparison of Reduced Order Modeling Techniques Used in Dynamic Substructuring.

Conference Roettgen, Dan ; Seegar, Ben ; Tai, Wei Che ; ...

Experimental dynamic substructuring is a means whereby a mathematical model for a substructure can be obtained experimentally and then coupled to a model for the rest of the assembly to predict the response. Recently, various methods have been proposed that use a transmission simulator to overcome sensitivity to measurement errors and to exercise the interface between the substructures; including the Craig-Bampton, Dual Craig-Bampton, and Craig-Mayes methods. This work compares the advantages and disadvantages of these reduced order modeling strategies for two dynamic substructuring problems. The methods are first used on an analytical beam model to validate the methodologies. Then theymore »« less
