Abstract

Although component mode synthesis (CMS) methods for structural dynamic analysis were introduced in the 1960s, it is still an active field of research. One of the current challenges is to apply CMS in a design process in which some component(s) of the system are (parametrically) modified. For every design change, the component reduction basis needs to be recomputed, thereby seriously hindering the effectiveness of the CMS approach.In this work we address the static modes, which are an essential part of every component reduction basis. For the popular Craig-Bampton CMS method, we present an efficient yet accurate method for updating the static modes based on the iterative conjugate gradient solver. This way, no factorization of the modified stiffness matrix is needed and optimal use is made of the available information. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy will be illustrated by a case study.
