Abstract
Offshore structures like jackets are exposed to various kinds of external loading conditions and examination of broader range of modes and natural frequencies are required for their dynamic analysis. In this study, four model reduction techniques — two modal truncation methods and two balanced truncation methods — are introduced and applied to a jacket structure. The reduction results are compared with those of the conventional Paz condensation methods. Four new methods show better fidelity, especially in high frequency ranges than the conventional methods.
