When the response of a structural system to dynamic excitation must be analyzed, a substructure coupling method (or component-mode synthesis method) is frequently employed to reduce the order of the finite element model of the structure. This paper reviews procedures used to formulate component modes for substructures and to assemble substructure models to form reduced-order models of the original system. A brief literature survey covering several applications of substructure coupling is also presented.
