A Two-Step Global Maximum Error Controller-Based TPWL MOR with POD Basis Vectors and Its Applications to MEMS

In our previous study, we have proposed a linearization point (LP) selection method based on a global maximum error controller for the trajectory piecewise-linear (TPWL) method. It has been demonstrated that this method has many advantages over other existing methods. In this paper, a more efficient version of this method is presented, which introduces a preliminary LP selection procedure and constructs projection matrix by the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method. Compared with the original method, the improved method takes much less time for extracting a reduced-order model (ROM) of similar quality and gets some other benefits (such as being easier to implement, having lower memory requirement, and enhanced flexibility). The effectiveness of the new method is fully demonstrated by a diode transmission line RLC circuit. And then, the method is applied to three more complicated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, which are a micromachined switch, an electrostatic micropump diaphragm, and a thermomechanical in-plane microactuator.
