Progress Towards Scalable Nonlinear Balancing Algorithms

February 01, 2020

Talk, Model Reduction and Surrogate Modeling, Houston, Texas

This presentation investigated the use of Finite Element modeling using Abaqus to investigate stress-dependent wave propagation for the purposes of measuring rail neutral temperature.

A mass-normalized projection approach to component testing

November 09, 2019

Talk, 90th Shock and Vibrations Exchange, Atlanta, Georgia

This presentation detailed an alternative, more efficient method for computing projection matrices for component testing. The improved approach uses a Cholesky decomposition, or equivalently mass-normalizes the eigenvectors, to simplify the computation of a matrix inverse involved in computing the projection matrices.
