An evaluation of component mode synthesis for modal analysis of finite element models

Component mode synthesis (CMS) is a condensation method for vibration analysis which preserves the low frequency vibrational characteristics of a structure. In this method, the structure is treated as an assemblage of components whose displacements are described in terms of component modes. These mo...
