Abstract:
A method to cutoff substructure low order normal modes in component mode synthesis is proposed. Frequency shifting technique is introduced in substructure free vibration differential equation. Quasi-static constraint mode is taken into coordinate transformation and the contribution of substructure low order normal modes to system middle frequency modes is reduced,thus substructure low order normal modes truncation is achieved. This technique is used to compute dynamic characteristics of a body-in-white FEM mode in the frequency band of 160~190 Hz. The results show that compared with traditional component mode synthesis,which keeps 1 836 normal modes,this method only needs 297 normal modes and saves 27.7% calculation time. It means frequency shifting technique can improve the computational efficiency for middle frequency band dynamic characteristics of complex structure.
