Chen, Luping The methods for simplifying the model of dynamic systems. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 0805.73049 Adv. Mech. 24, No. 1, 88-97 (1994). Summary: This paper presents a review of the model simplifying methods in the large scale system theory and computational structural dynamics. The relations between them are analysed, and some ideas are given concerning the model reduction for closed-loop systems and its applications to active controlling of the dynamic structures.
