The component mode synthesis based on the Craig-Bampton method has two strong limitations that appear when the number of the interface degrees of freedom is large. First, the reduced-order model obtained is overweighed by many unnecessary degrees of freedom. Second, the reduction step may become extremely time consuming. Several interface reduction techniques addressed successfully the former problem, while the latter remains open. In this paper we tackle this latter problem through a simple interface-reduction technique based on an a-priory choice of the interface modes. An efficient representation of the interface displacement field is achieved adopting a set of orthogonal basis functions determined by the interface geometry. The proposed method is compared with other existing interface reduction methods on a case study regarding a rotor blade of an axial compressor.

The component mode synthesis (CMS) based on the Craig–Bampton (CB) method has two strong limitations that appear when the number of the interface degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) is large. First, the reduced-order model (ROM) obtained is overweighed by many unnecessary DOF. Second, the reduction step may become extremely time consuming. Several interface reduction (IR) techniques addressed successfully the former problem, while the latter remains open. In this paper, we tackle this latter problem through a simple IR technique based on an a-priory choice of the interface modes. An efficient representation of the interface displacement field is achieved adopting a set of orthogonal basis functions determined by the interface geometry. The proposed method is compared with other existing IR methods on a case study regarding a rotor blade of an axial compressor.

The efficient dynamic stress assessment of turbine blades is of prime importance in turbomachinery design. An accurate prediction of forced response level of shrouded blades requires a very detailed finite element model in addition to a nonlinear solver. In order to perform nonlinear forced response analysis of blades at an affordable computational cost, applying a model order reduction technique is essential. The appeal for component mode synthesis methods in dimension reduction of structures with friction contacts is due to the possibility of retaining a subset of physical degrees of freedom (e.g. the contact degrees of freedom) in the set of generalized coordinates. In this paper, a reduction method recently developed for nonlinear forced response analysis of structures with local nonlinearity is evaluated and compared with two classical component mode synthesis reduction techniques. All three methods have the same projection basis, which includes residual flexibility attachment modes and free interface modes, but different implementation. The response is computed in the frequency domain using multiharmonic balance method and periodic contact forces are modeled with a node-to-node 3D friction contact model. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the three formulations, a rod and a simplified shrouded turbine blade are considered as case studies.

An optimization study with kinetostatic analysis is performed on hybrid seven-bar press mechanism. This study is based on previous studies performed on planar hybrid seven-bar linkage. Dimensional synthesis is performed, and optimum link lengths for the mechanism are found. Optimization study is performed by using genetic algorithm (GA). Genetic Algorithm Toolbox is used with Optimization Toolbox in MATLAB®. The design variables and the constraints are used during design optimization. The objective function is determined and eight precision points are used. A seven-bar linkage system with two degrees of freedom is chosen as an example. Metal stamping operation with a dwell is taken as the case study. Having completed optimization, the kinetostatic analysis is performed. All forces on the links and the crank torques are calculated on the hybrid system with the optimized link lengths

AbstractTo solve key biomedical problems, experimentalists now routinely measure millions or billions of features (dimensions) per sample, with the hope that data science techniques will be able to build accurate data-driven inferences. Because sample sizes are typically orders of magnitude smaller than the dimensionality of these data, valid inferences require finding a low-dimensional representation that preserves the discriminating information (e.g., whether the individual suffers from a particular disease). There is a lack of interpretable supervised dimensionality reduction methods that scale to millions of dimensions with strong statistical theoretical guarantees. We introduce an approach to extending principal components analysis by incorporating class-conditional moment estimates into the low-dimensional projection. The simplest version, Linear Optimal Low-rank projection, incorporates the class-conditional means. We prove, and substantiate with both synthetic and real data benchmarks, that Linear Optimal Low-Rank Projection and its generalizations lead to improved data representations for subsequent classification, while maintaining computational efficiency and scalability. Using multiple brain imaging datasets consisting of more than 150 million features, and several genomics datasets with more than 500,000 features, Linear Optimal Low-Rank Projection outperforms other scalable linear dimensionality reduction techniques in terms of accuracy, while only requiring a few minutes on a standard desktop computer.

A technique for the selection of dynamic degrees of freedom (DDOF) of large, complex structures for dynamic analysis is described and the formulation of Ritz basis vectors for static condensation and component mode synthesis is presented. Generally, the selection of DDOF is left to the judgment of engineers. For large, complex structures, however, a danger of poor or improper selection of DDOF exists. An improper selection may result in singularity of the eigenvalue problem, or in missing some of the lower frequencies. This technique can be used to select the DDOF to reduce the size of large eigenproblems and to select the DDOF to eliminate the singularities of the assembled eigenproblem of component mode synthesis. The execution of this technique is discussed in this paper. Examples are given for using this technique in conjunction with a general purpose finite element computer program GENSAM[1].

Gondang Reservoir is one of The National Strategic Projects. Located in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province, Gondang Reservoir has 2.08 Mm3 flood storage, 5.03 Mm3 effective storage, 2.03 Mm3 dead storage and 30 years lifetime. In the dam management, one of the problems that often occurs is sedimentation. To overcome this problem, we need to know the sedimentation rate and distribution pattern of Gondang Reservoir for optimalizing the reservoir management. To predict the distribution pattern of the reservoir we use Empirical Area Reduction Methods. The findings of the study show that the sediment volume of the reservoir throughout its effective life is 2,79 Mm3, the new zero elevation is +496 m, there is no remaining dead storage and the remaining effective storage is 2.2 Mm3. This indicates that theoretically the reservoir will work well up to its life expectancy. Dam sedimentation management with structural or non structural must be planned especially at effective storage. Dam sedimentation management at effective storage is very important in order to maintain Gondang Reservoir benefits.

Abstract In this paper, a technique is presented for improving the efficiency of the Craig-Bampton method of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS). An eigenanalysis is performed on the partitions of the CMS mass and stiffness matrices that correspond to the so-called constraint modes. The resultant eigenvectors are referred to as “characteristic constraint modes,” since they represent the characteristic motion of the interface between the component structures. By truncating the characteristic constraint modes, a CMS model with a highly-reduced number of degrees of freedom may be obtained. An example of a cantilever plate is considered. It is shown that relatively few characteristic constraint modes are needed to yield accurate approximations of the lower natural frequencies. This method also provides physical insight into the mechanisms of vibration transmission in complex structures.
