Abstract
This paper examines the modeling and solution of large-order nonlinear systems with continuous nonlinearities which are spatially localized. This localization is exploited by a combined component mode synthesis (CMS)—dynamic substructuring approach for efficient model reduction. A new ordering method for the Fourier coefficients used in the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) is proposed. This allows the calculation of the slave dynamic flexibility matrix, using simple analytical expressions thus saving considerable computational effort by avoiding inverse calculation. This procedure is also capable of handling proportional damping. A hypersphere-based continuation technique is used to trace the solution, and hence track bifurcations since it has the advantage that the augmented Jacobian matrix remains square. The reduced system is also solved using a time-variational method (TVM) which generates sparse Jacobian matrices when compared with HBM. Several systems including those with parametric excitation and internal resonances are solved to demonstrate the capability of the proposed schemes. A comparison of these techniques and their effectiveness in solving extremely strong nonlinear systems with continuous nonlinearities is discussed.
