Abstract

Structural response and response sensitivity play an important role in the fields of model updating, damage identification and dynamic optimization. Calculation of response and response sensitivity of a large and complex structure usually takes up considerable computational time. This paper proposes a substructuring method to calculate the structural response and response sensitivity, where the vibration equation is represented by a few master eigenvectors of independent substructures and compensated by a residue. The response sensitivity with respect to a parameter is calculated from the eigenvector derivatives of its related substructure solely whereas the derivatives of other substructures are zeros. The size of the simplified vibration equation is equal to that of the master eigenvectors retained, which is much smaller than the original vibration equation. The proposed method is applied to a practical bridge structure. The case study verifies that the proposed method is highly efficient and accurate to calculate the structural response and response sensitivity.
