Abstract
Nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) finite element has advantages in analyzing the structure with curved surface geometry. In this research, we develop a component mode synthesis (CMS) based order-reduction technique which can be applied to large-scale NURBS finite element dynamic analysis. In particular, we establish a new substructure division scheme. The underlying idea is to optimally construct interface between adjacent substructures that can maximize the geometry consistency between the original structure and the divided substructures and at the meantime facilitate the compatibility conditions needed in mode synthesis. Case studies are carried out to validate the performance of the order-reduction formulation.
