Abstract

This paper presents frequency response function (FRF) expansion techniques that minimize the difference between the analytical and predicted FRF matrices to satisfy the FRF constraints. The measured FRF relationships at a small number of locations were used as constraints. The expansion method is useful for estimating the rotational FRFs that are difficult to measure or apply using frequency-based substructuring (FBS) techniques. The validity of the proposed method, including the effects of external noise, was confirmed using numerical examples. An FBS algorithm was also derived by incorporating the FRFs of each substructure, and the compatibility conditions were transformed into FRFs with pseudomasses at the joint nodes. A discrepancy between the FRFs of the synthesized system estimated using the proposed method and the analysis results of the entire system was observed in the numerical example, and the reasons for the discrepancy were investigated and discussed. It is estimated that the proposed FBS method can be enhanced by combining it with other dynamic substructuring techniques and supplementing additional information, such as measured FRFs.
