Substructuring methods are well known and are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled structures. In theory, there is no reason why the same techniques could not be used in a reverse problem of predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and of all the other substructures. However, the reverse problem, known as decoupling, usually requires matrix inversions, and therefore even small measurement errors may easily affect the accuracy of such methods. In this study two new FRF based approaches are presented for decoupling. The methods proposed require coupled system FRFs at coordinates that belong to the known subsystem as well as the measured or calculated FRFs of the known subsystem alone. Formulations are based on the reverse application of the structural coupling method proposed in a previous publication co-authored by one of the authors of this paper. The performances of the proposed methods are demonstrated and then compared with those of some well-known recent methods in the literature through a case study.

Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems
Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
FRF decoupling of nonlinear systems
Kalayclogiu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2018-03-01)
Structural decoupling problem, i.e. predicting dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and the other substructure, has been well investigated for three decades and led to several decoupling methods. In spite of the inherent nonlinearities in a structural system in various forms such as clearances, friction and nonlinear stiffness, all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is address...
Dynamic Decoupling of Nonlinear Systems
Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2017-02-02)
Structural decoupling problem has been well investigated for three decades and led to several decoupling methods. In spite of the inherent nonlinearities in a structural system in various forms all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is addressed for the first time and a method is proposed for calculating the frequency response functions of a substructure decoupled from a coupled nonlinear structure where nonlinearity can be modelled as a single...
Numerical investigation of characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients for missile models
Kayabaşı, İskander; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In this thesis the characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients of missile models are investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. Experimental data of NACA0012 airfoil, Basic Finner (BF) and Modified Basic Finner (MBF) models are used for validation and verification studies. Numerical computations are performed from subsonic to supersonic flow regimes. Grid refinement and turbulence model selection studies are conducted before starting the dynamic motion simulations. Numer...
