Abstract
A systematical procedure of model order reduction for the thermo-mechanical coupling flexible multibody system (FMS) is proposed. The displacement and temperature field are discretized by unified element mesh based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Since the expression of the elastic forces is highly nonlinear and the tangential stiffness matrix of ANCF is time varying, the Taylor expansion is used to linearized the dynamic and heat transfer equations to obtain constant tangential stiffness matrix. The thermo-mechanical coupling system is divided into several substructures and the free-interface component mode synthesis method is used at the interface. The modal truncation for the dynamic and thermal coordinates are performed to reduce the system degrees of freedom (DOF). Therefore, the computational efficiency is greatly improved. The system thermo-mechanical equations are reunited and the solving scheme is given. Numerical results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the simulation efficiency without losing accuracy.
