Application of the Craig-Bampton model order reduction method to a composite structure: MACco, COMAC, COMAC-S and eCOMAC
Peredo Fuentes, Humberto; Zehn, Manfred
The Craig-Bampton model order reduction (CBMOR) method based on the Rayleigh-Ritz approach was applied in a previous work to simulate dynamic behavior of a composite structure (CFRP) using the modal assurance criteria (MAC) and cross orthogonality (XOR) to validate the correlation. Different coordinate modal assurance criteria are applied to complement and verify the eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors obtained of the full and reduced models using substructures (super-elements). An improvement is observed per paired mode-sensor with the MAC per coordinates criterion (MACco) in a CFRP once the stiffness parameters are updated in the full model applying a mix-numerical experimental technique (MNET) using a design of experiments (DOE). The coordinate modal assurance criteria (COMAC) and the scaleCOMAC (COMACS) results of the full models display the best results respect to the reduced model. Furthermore, slight improvement of the enhanced COMAC (eCOMAC) results are observed in the reduced model despite having lower MAC performance. This approach complements the results of the previous work using several COMAC techniques, and demostrates the feasibility to achieve low COMACs results in the reduced finite element model once the stiffness parameters of the full element model are updated. The example was prepared and solved with MSC/NASTRAN SOL103 and SDTools-MATLAB for comparative purposes.
