Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe reduced order modelling based on dynamic flexibility approximation and applied to transient analyses.Design/methodology/approachThis work is based on a recently proposed flexibility‐based component modes synthesis (CMS) approach which was shown to be very efficient for solving large eigenvalue problems. The model reduction approach is based on partionning via the localized Lagrange multipliers method, which makes it very appropriate to handle coupled problems.FindingsIn particular, it is demonstrated in this paper how the utilised model reduction method can be applied only to one part of the structure and efficiently coupled to a full finite element model. The performance of the method is investigated on numerical examples of plate and 3D problems.Originality/valueThe proposed flexibility‐based CMS approach can be used as a very efficient tool for complex engineering structures under dynamic load where the mode superposition method applies. The efficiency of the computations is brought about by the model reduction.
