Parametric high-fidelity simulations are of interest for a wide range of applications. However, the restriction of computational resources renders such models to be inapplicable in a real-time context or in multi-query scenarios. Model order reduction (MOR) is used to tackle this issue. Recently, MOR is extended to preserve specific structures of the model throughout the reduction, e.g., structure-preserving MOR for Hamiltonian systems. This is referred to as symplectic MOR. It is based on the classical projection-based MOR and uses a symplectic reduced order basis (ROB). Such an ROB can be derived in a data-driven manner with the Proper Symplectic Decomposition (PSD) in the form of a minimization problem. Due to the strong nonlinearity of the minimization problem, it is unclear how to efficiently find a global optimum. In our paper, we show that current solution procedures almost exclusively yield suboptimal solutions by restricting to orthonormal ROBs. As a new methodological contribution, we propose a new method which eliminates this restriction by generating non-orthonormal ROBs. In the numerical experiments, we examine the different techniques for a classical linear elasticity problem and observe that the non-orthonormal technique proposed in this paper shows superior results with respect to the error introduced by the reduction.

A robust computational technique for model order reduction (MOR) of multi-time-scale discrete systems (single input single output (SISO) and multi-input multioutput (MIMO)) is presented in this paper. This work is motivated by the singular perturbation of multi-time-scale systems where some specific dynamics may not have significant influence on the overall system behavior. The new approach is proposed using genetic algorithms (GA) with the advantage of obtaining a reduced order model, maintaining the exact dominant dynamics in the reduced order, and minimizing the steady state error. The reduction process is performed by obtaining an upper triangular transformed matrix of the system state matrix defined in state space representation along with the elements ofB,C, andDmatrices. The GA computational procedure is based on maximizing the fitness function corresponding to the response deviation between the full and reduced order models. The proposed computational intelligence MOR method is compared to recently published work on MOR techniques where simulation results show the potential and advantages of the new approach.

A Padé approximation based technique for designing a suboptimal controller is presented. The technique uses matching of both time moments and Markov parameters for model order reduction. In this method, the suboptimal controller is first derived for reduced order model and then implemented for higher order plant by partial feedback of measurable states.

Hybrid simulation is a method used to investigate the dynamic response of a system subjected to a realistic loading scenario by combining numerical and physical substructures. To ensure high fidelity of the simulation results, it is often necessary to conduct hybrid simulation in real-time. One of the challenges arising in real-time hybrid simulation originates from high-dimensional nonlinear numerical substructures and, in particular, from the computational cost linked to the computation of their dynamic responses with sufficient accuracy. It is often the case that the simulation time-step must be decreased to capture the dynamic behavior of numerical substructures, thus resulting in longer computation. When such computation takes longer than the actual simulation time, time delays are introduced and the simulation timescale becomes distorted. In such a case, the only viable solution for doing hybrid simulation in real-time is to reduce the order of such complex numerical substructures.In this study, a model order reduction framework is proposed for real-time hybrid simulation, based on polynomial chaos expansion and feedforward neural networks. A parametric case study encompassing a virtual hybrid model is used to validate the framework. Selected numerical substructures are substituted with their respective reduced-order models. To determine the robustness of the framework, parameter sets are defined to cover the design space of interest. A comparison between the full- and reduced-order hybrid model response is delivered. The attained results demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework.

Modeling and simulation of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems has become increasingly important as the complexity of MEMS devices increases. In particular, thermal effects on MEMS devices has become a growing topic of interest. Through the FEA, detailed solutions can be obtained to investigate the multiphysics coupling and the transient behavior of a MEMS device at the component level. For system-level integration and simulation, the FEA discretization often results in large full-scale models, which can be computationally demanding or even prohibitive to solve. Model order reduction (MOR) was investigated in this study to reduce problem size for complex dynamic system modeling. The Arnoldi method was implemented for MOR to improve the computational efficiency while preserving the input-output behavior of coupled MEMS simulation. Using this method, a low dimensional Krylov subspace was extracted from the full-scale system model. Reduced order solution of the transient temperature distributions was then determined by projecting the system onto the extracted Krylov subspace and solving the reduced system. An electro thermal MEMS actuator was studied for various inputs. To compare results, the full-scale analyses were performed using the commercial FEA program ANSYS. It was found that the computational time of MOR was only a fraction of the full-scale solution time, with the relative errors ranging from 1.1% to 4.5% at different positions on the actuator. Our results show that the reduced order modeling via Alnoldi can significantly decrease the transient analysis solution time without much loss in accuracy for coupled-field MEMS simulation.

In model order reduction and system theory, the cross-gramian is widely applicable. The cross-gramian based model order reduction techniques have the advantage over conventional balanced truncation that it is computationally less complex, while providing a unique relationship with the Hankel singular values of the original system at the same time. This basic property of cross-gramian holds true for all symmetric systems. However, for non-square and non-symmetric dynamical systems, the standard cross-gramian does not satisfy this property. Hence, alternate approaches need to be developed for its evaluation. In this paper, a generalized frequency-weighted cross-gramian-based controller reduction algorithm is presented, which is applicable to both symmetric and non-symmetric systems. The proposed algorithm is also applicable to unstable systems even if they have poles of opposite polarities and equal magnitudes. The proposed technique produces an accurate approximation of the reduced order model in the desired frequency region with a reduced computational effort. A lower order controller can be designed using the proposed technique, which ensures closed-loop stability and performance with the original full order plant. Numerical examples provide evidence of the efficacy of the proposed technique.

Modeling and design of on-chip interconnect, the interconnection between the components is becoming the fundamental roadblock in achieving high-speed integrated circuits. The scaling of interconnect in nanometer regime had shifted the paradime from device-dominated to interconnect-dominated design methodology. Driven by the expanding complexity of on-chip interconnects, a passivity preserving model order reduction (MOR) is essential for designing and estimating the performance for reliable operation of the integrated circuit. In this work, we developed a new frequency selective reduce norm spectral zero (RNSZ) projection method, which dynamically selects interpolation points using spectral zeros of the system. The proposed reduce-norm scheme can guarantee stability and passivity, while creating the reduced models, which are fairly accurate across selected narrow range of frequencies. The reduced order results indicate preservation of passivity and greater accuracy than the other model order reduction methods.

<div>We start with a detailed review of the PACT approach for model order reduction of RC networks. We then develop a method that uses PACT as a preprocessing step to transform a generic lumped RC transmission line of some nominal order, based on a nominal (r,c) setting, into a parameterized circuit captured in a SPICE sub-circuit description. Then, given any other lumped RC line of the same order, we pass its (r,c) setting as parameters to this sub-circuit so as to automatically transform and reduce the line into a reduced order model without having to rerun PACT. In this way, we effectively characterize lumped RC transmission lines in a way that allows them to be reduced on-the-fly without any expensive processing.</div>

A new scheme for model order reduction of large-scale second-order systems in time-limited intervals is presented. Time-limited Gramians that are solutions of continuous-time algebraic Lyapunov equations for second-order form systems are introduced. Time-limited second-order balanced truncation procedures with provision of balancing position and velocity Gramians are formulated. Stability conditions for reduced-order models are stated and algorithms that preserve stability in reduced-order models are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to validate the superiority of the proposed scheme compared with the infinite-time Gramians technique for time-limited applications.

Abstract Thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) models predict the thermal behavior of machine tools and the associated mechanical deviations. However, one disadvantage is their high computational expense, linked to the evaluation of the large systems of differential equations. Therefore, projection-based model order reduction (MOR) methods are required in order to create efficient surrogate models. This paper presents a parametric MOR method for weakly coupled thermo-mechanical FE models of machine tools and other similar mechatronic systems. This work proposes a reduction method, Krylov Modal Subspace (KMS), and a theoretical bound of the reduction error. The developed method addresses the parametric dependency of the convective boundary conditions using the concept of system bilinearization. The reduced-order model reproduces the thermal response of the original FE model in the frequency range of interest for any value of the parameters describing the convective boundary conditions. Additionally, this paper investigates the coupling between the reduced-order thermal system and the mechanical response. A numerical example shows that the reduced-order model captures the response of the original system in the frequency range of interest.
