Abstract
The Craig-Bampton approach for component mode synthesis in structural dynamics has been widely used to reduce the order of large, detailed finite element models made from linear elastic materials. This methodology separates the full order model into smaller subcomponents and reduces the equations of motion with a truncated set of fixed-interface modes and static constraint modes. A drawback of this approach is that the model has one constraint mode for every interface degree-of-freedom, which may result in a large and prohibitively costly superelement. Previous work has addressed this issue via characteristic constraint modes, which reduces the number of interface degrees-of-freedom by performing a secondary modal analysis on the interface partition. The current work extends the Craig-Bampton approach with interface reduction to include subcomponents with linear viscoelastic materials modeled using a Prony series. For substructures containing materials such as foams or polymers, the viscoelastic constitutive law more accurately represents the material energy dissipation compared to traditional viscous or modal damping. The new approach will be demonstrated on the assembly of two composite plates with fixed boundary conditions along one edge.
