Constrained layer frictional interfaces, such as joints, are prevalent in engineering applications. Because these interfaces are often used in built-up structures, reduced order modeling techniques are utilized for developing simulations of them. One limitation of the existing reduced order modeling techniques, though, is the loss of the local kinematics due to regularization of the frictional interfaces. This paper aims to avoid the use of regularization in the modeling of constrained layer frictional interfaces by utilizing a new technique, the discontinuous basis function method. This method supplements the linear mode shapes of the system with a series of discontinuous basis functions that are used to account for nonlinear forces acting on the system. A symmetric, constrained layer frictional interface is modeled as a continuous system connected to two rigid planes by a series of Iwan elements. This symmetric model is used to test the hypothesis that symmetric problems are not subjected to the range of variability seen in physical structures, which have non-uniform pressure and friction distributions. Insights from solving the symmetric problem are used to consider the case where a non-uniform distribution of friction and pressure exists.

Modified modal domain analysis (MMDA), a reduced order modeling technique, is applied to a geometrically mistuned integrally bladed rotor to obtain its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response. The geometric mistuning of blades is described in terms of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data. Results from MMDA are compared to those from the full (360 deg) rotor Ansys model. It is found that the MMDA can accurately predict natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response. The effects of the number of POD features and the number of tuned modes used as bases for model reduction are examined. Results from frequency mistuning approaches, fundamental mistuning model (FMM) and subset of nominal modes (SNM), are also generated and compared to those from full (360 deg) rotor Ansys model. It is clearly seen that FMM and SNM are unable to yield accurate results whereas MMDA yields highly accurate results.

A method is proposed for the determination of the aeroelastic behavior of a system responding to mode-shapes different to the tuned in-vacuo ones, due to mistuning, mode family interaction or any other source of mode-shape perturbation. The method is based on the generation of a data base of unsteady aerodynamic forces arising from the motion of arbitrary modes and uses Least Square approximations for the prediction of any responding mode. The use of a reduced order technique allows for mistuning analyses and is also applied for the selection of a limited number of arbitrary modes. The application on a transonic compressor blade shows that the method captures well the aeroelastic properties in a wide frequency range. A discussion of the influence of the mode-shapes and frequency on the final stability response is also provided.
