Nonintrusive Nonlinear Reduced Order Models for Structures in Large Deformations: Validations to Atypical Structures and Basis Construction Aspects
Abstract
The focus of this investigation is on reduced order models (ROMs) of the nonlinear geometric response of structures that are built nonintrusively, i.e., from standard outputs of commercial finite element codes. Several structures with atypical loading, boundary conditions, or geometry are considered to not only support the broad applicability of these ROMs but also to exemplify the different steps involved in determining an appropriate basis for the response. This basis is formed here as a combination of linear vibration modes and dual modes, and some of the steps involved follow prior work; others are novel aspects, all of which are covered in significant detail to minimize the expertise needed to develop these ROMs. The comparisons of the static and dynamic responses of these structures predicted by the ROMs and by the underlying finite element models demonstrate the high accuracy that can be achieved with the ROMs, even in the presence of significant nonlinearity.
