Application of component mode synthesis in structural dynamicsThe principal analytical techniques used for component mode synthesis (CMS) of undamped systems and their application to structural dynamics are discussed. In the CMS, a system is divided into components or substructures, and for each of these components, the number of degrees of freedom is reduced by expressing the physical coordinates in terms of a reduced set of component modal coordinates. Among a number of component modes, a new form of component mode, called an applied force attachment mode, is described. Consideration is given to literature studies of damped structures and recent combined analytical/experimental studies.
