Finite element-based model order reduction for nonlinear structural dynamics

Extensive computational resources are required to solve large-scale nonlinear problems having a finite element mesh with a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). Model order reduction (MOR) is a technique used to reduce these DOFs, facilitating a faster solution with reasonable accuracy. This work proposes a method for constructing a finite...

Dynamic Substructuring for Efficient Vibrational Studies in Buildings

As a reaction to urban densication, light weight building is an attractive concept for optimally utilizing the capacity of the existing built environment. A common issue paired with light weight construction is the need to engage in vibrational design, in order to minimize hindrance due to human activities such as walking, that cause vibrations...
