Structural modification techniques are widely used to predict the dynamic characteristics of modified systems by using the information of the original and modifying systems. Nowadays, due to the increased computational power, large finite element models are regularly used. During design optimization, modifications are done on the original structure in order to meet the design requirements which require reevaluation of the dynamic response of the structure. This is a time consuming process since for each modification, the whole structure needs to be analyzed. In this study, a new structural modification method is proposed in order to decrease the computational effort during the design optimization. Proposed method uses the modal data of the original system and system matrices of the modifying structure in order to predict the modal data of the modified system which can be used for the dynamic analysis. Initially, the application of the method is presented on a lumped parameter model. Later, the proposed method is applied on a finite element model of a cantilever beam which is modified by additional systems having different number of total degrees of freedom (DOFs) and different number of connection DOFs. Modal data of the original structure and the system matrices of the modifying part are extracted from a commercial finite element software. The modal information obtained from the proposed method and the one obtained from finite element software are compared and it is observed that they are in perfect agreement if all information of the original structure is used. The effect of reduction of the original structure is as well investigated and the performance of the developed method is studied for varying the size of the modifying system. The computation time required for the determination of frequency response function is compared with other structural modification methods where significant improvement in computation time is observed.

Design optimization of structural systems is often iterative, time consuming and is limited by the knowledge of the designer. For that reason, a rapid design optimization scheme is desirable to avoid such problems. This paper presents and integrates two design methodologies for efficient conceptual design of structural systems involving computationally intensive analysis. The first design methodology used in this paper is structural modification technique (SMT). The SMT utilizes the frequency response funct...
A new modal superposition method for nonlinear vibration analysis of structures using hybrid mode shapes

In this paper, a new modal superposition method based on a hybrid mode shape concept is developed for the determination of steady state vibration response of nonlinear structures. The method is developed specifically for systems having nonlinearities where the stiffness of the system may take different limiting values. Stiffness variation of these nonlinear systems enables one to define different linear systems corresponding to each value of the limiting equivalent stiffness. Moreover, the response of the n...

Design of complex mechanical structures requires to predict nonlinearities that affect the dynamic behavior considerably. However, finding the forced response of nonlinear structures is computationally expensive, especially for large ordered realistic finite element models. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to reduce computational time significantly utilizing Response Dependent Nonlinear Mode (RDNM) concept in determining the steady state periodic response of nonlinear structures. The method is ap...

Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01)
Accurate identification of contact dynamics is very crucial in predicting the dynamic behavior and chatter stability of spindle-tool assemblies in machining centers. it is well known that the stability lobe diagrams used for predicting regenerative chatter vibrations can be obtained from the tool point frequency response function (FRF) of the system. As previously shown by the authors, contact dynamics at the spindle-holder and holder-tool interfaces as well as the dynamics of bearings affect the tool point...
