Abstract:Substructuring techniques have been widely used in model reduction of large structures. In these methods a large structure is partitioned into several components and reduced components are built. Boundary degrees-of-freedom (DoF) at the interfaces between components are used to assemble the reduced components and to form a reduced model of the original structure. In the current substructuring methods the boundary DoF or a transformation of these DoF remain in the reduced model. In this paper a methodology is s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
