ANALYSES OF LAMINATED CANTILEVER COMPOSITE BEAMS BY MODEL ORDER REDUCTION TECHNIQUES

摘要

In this study, a laminated cantilever composite beam is studied in frequency domain by using some popular model order reduction techniques. In the analyses, component mode synthesis (CMS) and quasi-static mode synthesis (QSM1, QSM2) methods are applied to semi-discrete finite element equations to obtain reduced order models for structural analyses. The performance of the model order reduction methods is compared. In addition, fiber orientation, stacking sequence, ply thickness, and its location effects on the number of modes of the methods and on the natural frequencies are investigated. Results reveal that the performance of the QSM2 method is found to be better than the others. It is observed that the fiber orientation, stacking sequence, ply thickness, and its location parameters affect the natural frequency values and the number of modes of the methods.
