Short summary
This study proposes a fast correction method for modal-based reduced-order models to account for geometric nonlinearities linked to large bending deflections in cantilever beam-like engineering structures. The large deflections cause secondary motions such as axial and torsional motions when the structures go through bending deflections. The method relies on pre-computed correction terms and thus adds negligibly small extra computational cost to the time domain analyses of the dynamic response.
