Analysis of vibration levels of large structural system with recursive component mode synthesis method: Theory and convergence

Abstract The component mode synthesis (CMS) method has been extensively used in industries. However, industry finite-element (FE) models need a more efficient CMS method for satisfactory performance since the size of FE models needs to be increased for a more accurate analysis. Recently, the recursive component mode synthesis (RCMS) method was introduced to solve large-scale eigenvalue problem efficiently. This article focuses on the convergence of the RCMS method with respect to different parameters, and evaluates the accuracy and performance compared with the Lanczos method.
