Abstract
Model reduction is a technique commonly used to reduce the computation time of structural dynamic models. The results of the reduced model can then be expanded to full space using the transformation matrix developed in the reduction process. This work focuses on expanding the mode shapes of system models that are comprised of reduced component models. Typically, this expansion requires the full space system model to be computed in order to obtain the system model transformation matrix needed to perform the expansion. Computing the full space system model to determine the expansion matrix does not save computation time and therefore defeats the purpose of using model reduction. This paper proposes using the expansion matrices of the individual components to expand the assembled system model modes. In this work, System Equivalent Reduction Expansion Process (SEREP) is used for reduction and expansion. The accuracy of the expanded system model is shown to be dependent on the modes retained in the reduced component models. Recent work on Variability Improvement of Key Inaccurate Node Groups (VIKING) has shown that over specifying the number of modes used in the reduction/expansion process that span the space of the system model modes significantly improves the results. The VIKING technique is the basis for the expansion process developed in this work. Multiple analytical cases are presented to show how the selection of component modes affects the expansion results. The analytical cases demonstrate that accurate system model expansion results can be obtained when a sufficient set of component modes that span the space of the system model modes are used.
