A systematic methodology is presented for investigating long term ride dynamics of large order vehicle models in a computationally efficient way. First, the equations of motion for each of the main structural components of the vehicle are set up by applying the finite element method. As a consequence of the geometric complexity of these components, the number of the resulting equations is so high that the classical coordinate reduction methodologies become numerically ineffective to apply. In addition, the composite model possesses strongly nonlinear characteristics. However, the method applied overcomes some of these difficulties by imposing a multi-level substructuring procedure, based on the sparsity pattern of the stiffness matrix. In this way, the number of the equations of motion of the complete system is substantially reduced. Subsequently, this allows the application of appropriate numerical methodologies for predicting response spectra of the nonlinear models to periodic road excitation. Results obtained by direct integration of the equations of motion are also presented. Where possible, the accuracy and validity of the applied methodology is verified by comparison with results obtained for the original models.
