MULTIPLE LEVEL DYNAMIC SUBSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS

MULTIPLE LEVEL DYNAMIC SUBSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS An exact multiplelevel dynamic substructure technique was developed by a combination of WYD algorithm and static multiplelevel substructuring technique. This method is essentially different from the traditional mode component synthesis. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors created by the method are the eigenpairs for the whole structure and not for the components of structure. On the other hand, the dynamic response by using mode superposition can also be implemented in substructure level. This algorithm actually is an exact substructuring technique which means that substructuring itself did not introduce any additional error except the roundoff when a structure was split into some arbitrary subdomains and the error of WYD or mode superposition themselves. It is no longer necessary to assume any connective condition on the interface between substructures. This method makes the capacity of dynamic analysis of a structural analysis program unlimited. It is especially attractive for the programs on microcomputers. Of course, the method leads to a frequent IO for a subsequent search of the files from each substructure. It is time consuming compared to the mode component synthesis. But the potential still exists to improve the efficiency by using parallel computation on concurrent computers. In this paper the theory and procedure of the algorithm are presented. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Engineering Computations: International Journal for Computer-Aided Engineering and Software Emerald Publishing

Abstract

An exact multiplelevel dynamic substructure technique was developed by a combination of WYD algorithm and static multiplelevel substructuring technique. This method is essentially different from the traditional mode component synthesis. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors created by the method are the eigenpairs for the whole structure and not for the components of structure. On the other hand, the dynamic response by using mode superposition can also be implemented in substructure level. This algorithm actually is an exact substructuring technique which means that substructuring itself did not introduce any additional error except the roundoff when a structure was split into some arbitrary subdomains and the error of WYD or mode superposition themselves. It is no longer necessary to assume any connective condition on the interface between substructures. This method makes the capacity of dynamic analysis of a structural analysis program unlimited. It is especially attractive for the programs on microcomputers. Of course, the method leads to a frequent IO for a subsequent search of the files from each substructure. It is time consuming compared to the mode component synthesis. But the potential still exists to improve the efficiency by using parallel computation on concurrent computers. In this paper the theory and procedure of the algorithm are presented.
