Abstract

This paper shows how to calculate Craig-Bampton component mode synthesis matrices from measured frequency response functions. The procedure is based on a modified residual flexibility method and the use of a Maclaurin series expansion to represent the residual effects of the omitted modes. It was developed as a base-band method for structures exhibiting normal modes of vibration determined from free boundary vibration tests. Of particular importance is the procedure developed for the estimation of the Maclaurin series expansion coefficients and for the recovery of the Craig-Bampton matrices from the residual flexibility formulation. This allows accurate dynamic models to be determined for measured systems that can be used to predict the effects of structural modifications and in substructure coupling analyses. The performance of the new method is demonstrated by comparison of experiment and analysis.for two simple beams.
