Predicting mobile machine tool dynamics prior to moving the machine to a new part and/or location is essential to guide first-time-right in situ machining solutions. This paper considers such a priori prediction of assembled dynamics under varying base/part/contact characteristics by applying dynamic substructuring procedures. Assembled dynamics are predicted by substructural coupling of the machine's known free-free response with the known response of any base/part measured at location. Since obtaining the machine's free-free response remains non-trivial, we instead extract the machine's dynamics using substructure decoupling procedures. Substructuring is carried out using measured frequency response functions. Methods are tested for robustness, and are experimentally validated.
