Description

Figure 2

This is an example for a model in the frequency domain of the form

$\begin{align} K_d x - \omega^2 M x & = B \\ y & = B^T x \end{align}$

where $B$ represents a unit point load in one unknown of the state vector. $M$ is a symmetric positive-definite matrix and $K_d = (1+i\gamma) K$ where $K$ is symmetric positive semi-definite.

The test problem is a structural model of a car windscreen. This is a 3D problem discretized with $7564$ nodes and $5400$ linear hexahedral elements (3 layers of $60 \times 30$ elements). The mesh is shown in Fig. 1. The material is glass with the following properties: The Young modulus is $7\times10^{10}\mathrm{N}/\mathrm{m}^2$, the density is $2490 \mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{m}^3$, and the Poisson ratio is $0.23$. The natural damping is $10\%$, i.e. $\gamma=0.1$. The structural boundaries are free (free-free boundary conditions). The windscreen is subjected to a point force applied on a corner. The goal of the model reduction is the fast evaluation of $y$. Model reduction is used as a fast linear solver for a sequence of parametrized linear systems.

The discretized problem has dimension $n=22692$. The goal is to estimate $x(\omega)$ for $\omega\in[0.5,200]$. In order to generate the plots, the frequency range was discretized as $\{\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_m\} = \{0.5j,j=1,\ldots,m\}$ with $m=400$.

Fig. 1 shows the mesh of the car windscreen and Fig. 2 the frequency response $\vert \Re(y(\omega)) \vert$.
