In recent years, reduced-order modelling techniques based on Krylov-subspace iterations, especially the Lanczos algorithm and the Arnoldi process, have become popular tools for tackling the large-scale time-invariant linear dynamical systems that arise in the simulation of electronic circuits. This paper reviews the main ideas of reduced-order modelling techniques based on Krylov subspaces and describes some applications of reduced-order modelling in circuit simulation.

Constrained layer frictional interfaces, such as joints, are prevalent in engineering applications. Because these interfaces are often used in built-up structures, reduced order modeling techniques are utilized for developing simulations of them. One limitation of the existing reduced order modeling techniques, though, is the loss of the local kinematics due to regularization of the frictional interfaces. This paper aims to avoid the use of regularization in the modeling of constrained layer frictional interfaces by utilizing a new technique, the discontinuous basis function method. This method supplements the linear mode shapes of the system with a series of discontinuous basis functions that are used to account for nonlinear forces acting on the system. A symmetric, constrained layer frictional interface is modeled as a continuous system connected to two rigid planes by a series of Iwan elements. This symmetric model is used to test the hypothesis that symmetric problems are not subjected to the range of variability seen in physical structures, which have non-uniform pressure and friction distributions. Insights from solving the symmetric problem are used to consider the case where a non-uniform distribution of friction and pressure exists.

Reduced Order Modeling may be used to obtain compact and computationally efficient representations of complex dynamic systems. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of reduced order modeling techniques to systems undergoing thermal transients. In this paper, a reduced order model is defined as a spectral method in which the dominant features of a spatially and temporally varying temperature profile are represented using a relatively small set of basis vectors. Although various approaches are possible, reduced order modeling generally relies on the use the singular value decomposition of a matrix containing representative data to generate an orthonormal basis for the process to be modeled. The results presented in this paper illustrate reduced order modeling of periodic and transient heat transfer in an axisymmetric system. Measures demonstrating the accuracy and computational savings associated with the use of reduced order modeling are presented.
