In science, engineering and technology complex problems are often decomposed into
smaller, simpler subsystems. Each subsystem can then be analyzed and evaluated …

Substructure decoupling is the process of identifying the dynamic behavior of one
component by removing the dynamic influence of the second component from the …

In mechanical systems coupled with joints, accurate prediction of the joint characteristics is
extremely important. Despite years of research, a lot is yet to be learnt about the joints' …

A joint between two components can be seen as a means to transmit dynamic information
from one side to the other. To identify the joint, a reverse process called decoupling can be …

Accurate estimation of rotational frequency response functions (FRFs) is an essential
element of successful structural coupling. It is well known that the experimental estimation of …

Often numerical and measured data are not compatible both in type and number of degrees
of freedom (DOFs). While finite element modelling can provide a full data set, the …

In experimental dynamic substructuring, coupling of substructures sharing a line-or surface-
like interface proves to be a challenge due to the difficulties in interface modelling. Modelling …

In the context of dynamic substructuring applied to the automotive industry, a crucial factor
for determining a vehicle's noise properties is evaluating the transfer behaviour of rubber …

A reliable experimental application of frequency based substructuring requires very accurate
acquisition of frequency response functions (FRFs). Even a relatively small error introduced …

For components that are difficult to model with conventional analytical or numerical tools,
experimentally derived state-space models can instead be used in system synthesis. For …
