DYNAMIC MODEL REDUCTION USING MODAL TRUNCATION IN THE BUILDING MOTION PROBLEM

Abstract

Modal truncation, an advanced algorithm for model reduction in dynamic systems, efficiently simplifies complex models by selectively discarding less influential eigenmodes, maintaining a balance between computational efficiency and model accuracy. This paper explores the algorithm's application to a 48th order building model. Proceed to reduce this model to lower orders, then analyze errors in time and frequency domains. Modal truncation algorithm systematically reduces model dimensions while preserving critical dynamic attributes. Numerical simulations reveal a favorable reduction order range (from order 6th to order 25th) for optimal balance, with sensitivity observed at order 25th. From the results obtained, depending on specific requirements, users can use a lower-order model corresponding to the allowed error to replace the original system. Recommendations include iterative refinement for adaptive reduction orders and in-depth analysis around critical points. This algorithm becomes an effective method for researchers dealing with high-dimensional dynamic systems, offering simpler yet accurate model representations. As technology develops, continued refinements and applications of modal truncation are expected, solidifying its role in the realm of model reduction.
