It is often prohibitively expensive to integrate the response of a high order nonlinear system,
such as a finite element model of a nonlinear structure, so a set of linear eigenvectors is
often used as a basis in order to create a reduced order model (ROM). By augmenting the
linear basis with a small set of discontinuous basis functions, ROMs of systems with local
nonlinearities have been shown to compare well with the corresponding full order models.
When evaluating the quality of a ROM, it is common to compare the time response of the …
