This paper introduces a novel model reduction technique, namely Sub-System Global Modal Parameterization (SS-GMP), for real-time simulation of flexible multibody systems. In the past, other system-level model reduction techniques have been proposed for this purpose, but these were limited in applicability due to the large storage requirements for systems with many rigid degrees-of-freedom (DOFs). However, in the SS-GMP approach, the motion of a mechanism is split up into a global motion and a relative motion of the (sub-)system. The relative motion is then reduced according to the Global Modal Parameterization, which is a model reduction procedure suitable for closed chain flexible multibody systems. In combination with suitable explicit solvers, the SS-GMP approach enables (hard) real-time simulations due to the strong reduction in the number of DOFs and the conversion of a system of differential-algebraic equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The proposed approach is validated numerically with a quarter-car model. This fully flexible mechanism is simulated faster than real-time on a regular PC with the SS-GMP approach while providing accurate results.

The multisplitting technique introduced by D. P. O'Leary and R. E. White is applied to treat the waveform relaxation solutions for systems of linear integral-differential-algebraic equations in circuit simulation. The convergence condition of the multisplitting waveform relaxation method which can contain overlapping is established for the continuous-time case. The convergence rates of the relaxation-based method for different multisplittings are compared from the view-point of spectral radii of splitting matrices in systems. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the new theoretical results.

One of the most difficult problems in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and in differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) is the development of methods for dealing with highly oscillatory systems. These types of systems arise, for example, in vehicle simulation when modelling the suspension system or tyres, in models for contact and impact, in flexible body simulation from vibrations in the structural model, in molecular dynamics, in orbital mechanics, and in circuit simulation. Standard numerical methods can require a huge number of time-steps to track the oscillations, and even with small stepsizes they can alter the dynamics, unless the method is chosen very carefully.
