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...

Component Mode Synthesis for geometrically nonlinear structures

In the field of computational physics and engineering, the introduction of computers opened a world of possibilities. The finite element method was developed in order to solve complex problems numerically. Over time, the method matured and structures in the field of engineering became more and more complex, resulting in large degree of freedom...
