Mode superposition and real time finite rlement method in hybrid simulation

The following paper presents benefits of applying mode superposition to hybrid simulation, when Real Time Finite Element Method is used to model the analytical substructure. Introducing mode superposition (by performing some calculations offline) can bring significant computation time decrease in real time computations. The paper describes requirements and methods for introducing mode superposition and explains differences between using explicit and implicit integration schemes in such applications. A numerical example proving the benefits of implementing mode superposition to hybrid simulation is given.
