A model is developed for predicting the stress and displacement fields within a magnetic tape pack, where those quantities are allowed to vary in both the pack’s radial and transverse (cross-tape) directions. As has been the case in previous analyses based upon one-dimensional wound roll models, the present approach accounts for the anisotropic and nonlinear constitutive properties of the layered tape, and the incremental manner in which the pack is wound. Further, such widthwise variation effects as differential hub compliance and nonuniform winding tension, which can be significant in data cartridge design, are also treated in the model. The pack is analyzed through a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model that couples individual representations of the hub/flange and layered tape substructures. The bulk radial elastic modulus of the tape, which depends on the in-pack radial stress, is measured for a variety of media samples, and a reduced-order model is developed to capture the nonlinear modulus-stress correlation. The stiffness matrix of the hub/flange at its interface with the media provides a mixed boundary condition to the tape substructure. In this manner, design-specific hubs can be readily analyzed, and criteria for their optimization explored. Simulations of several cartridge designs are presented, and the roles of hub compliance and wound-in tension gradient in setting the pack’s stress field and cross-tape width change are discussed.

AbstractWe present an enhanced version of the parametric nonlinear reduced-order model for shape imperfections in structural dynamics we studied in a previous work. In this model, the total displacement is split between the one due to the presence of a shape defect and the one due to the motion of the structure. This allows to expand the two fields independently using different bases. The defected geometry is described by some user-defined displacement fields which can be embedded in the strain formulation. This way, a polynomial function of both the defect field and actual displacement field provides the nonlinear internal elastic forces. The latter can be thus expressed using tensors, and owning the reduction in size of the model given by a Galerkin projection, high simulation speedups can be achieved. We show that the adopted deformation framework, exploiting Neumann expansion in the definition of the strains, leads to better accuracy as compared to the previous work. Two numerical examples of a clamped beam and a MEMS gyroscope finally demonstrate the benefits of the method in terms of speed and increased accuracy.

Intentional mistuning is a well known procedure to decrease the uncontrolled vibration amplification effects of the inherent random mistuning and to reduce the sensitivity to it. The idea is to introduce an intentional mistuning pattern that is small but much larger that the existing random mistuning. The frequency of adjacent blades is moved apart by the intentional mistuning, reducing the effect of the blade-to-blade coupling and thus the effect of the random mistuning. The situation considered in this work is more complicated because the main source for the blade damping is the effect of the aerodynamic forces (as it happens in a blisk for a family of blade dominated modes with very similar frequencies). In this case the damping is clearly defined for the tuned traveling waves but not for each blade. The problem is analyzed using the Asymptotic Mistuning Model methodology. A reduced order model is derived that allows us to understand the action mechanism of the intentional mistuning, and gives a simple expression for the estimation of its beneficial effect. The results from the reduced model are compared with those from a finite element model of a more realistic rotor under different forcing conditions.

Abstract A case study on the efficient prediction of vibration and power flow in a vehicle structure is presented. The modeling and analysis technique is based on component mode synthesis (CMS). First, the finite element model (FEM) of the entire vehicle structure is partitioned into component models. Then, the Craig-Bampton method is used to assemble a CMS model of the vehicle. The CMS matrices are further reduced by finding characteristic constraint (CC) modes. A relatively small number of CC modes are selected to capture the primary motion of the interface between components, yielding a highly reduced order model of the vehicle vibration in the low- to mid-frequency range. Using this reduced order model (ROM), the power flow and vibration response of the vehicle is analyzed for several design configurations. A design change in one component structure requires a re-analysis of the FEM for that component only, in order to generate a new ROM of the entire vehicle. It is found that this component-based approach allows efficient evaluation of the effectiveness of the vehicle design changes.

AbstractIntegrally bladed rotors (IBRs) are meant to be rotationally periodic structures. However, unique variations in geometries and material properties from sector-to-sector, called mistuning, destroy the structural periodicity. This results in mode localization that can induce forced response levels greater than what is predicted with a tuned analysis. Furthermore, mistuning and mode localization are random processes that require stochastic treatments when analyzing the distribution of fleet responses. Generating this distribution can be computationally intensive when using the full finite element model (FEM). To overcome this expense, reduced-order models (ROMs) have been developed to accommodate fast calculations of mistuned forced response levels for a fleet of random IBRs. Usually, ROMs can be classified by two main families: frequency-based and geometry-based methods. Frequency-based ROMs assume mode shapes do not change due to mistuning. However, this assumption has been shown to cause errors that propagate to the fleet distribution. To circumvent these errors, geometry-based ROMs have been developed to provide accurate predictions. However, these methods require recalculating modal data during ROM formulations. This increases the computational expense in computing fleet distributions. A new geometry-based ROM is presented to reduce this cost. The developed ROM utilizes a Bayesian surrogate model in place of sector modal calculations required in ROM formulations. The method, surrogate modal analysis for geometry mistuning assessments (SMAGMA), will propagate uncertainties of the surrogate prediction to forced response. ROM accuracies are compared to the true forced response levels and results computed by a frequency-based ROM.

Abstract This work concerns the nonlinear numerical analysis of mistuned blades for a rotating detuned bladed-disk structure with geometrical nonlinearities. The detuning phenomenon is taken into account through a deterministic approach by modifying material properties of some blades. A nonlinear reduced-order model is obtained by setting up a basis using a double projection method. The mistuning uncertainties are implemented through a nonparametric probabilistic approach for which the level of uncertainties is controlled by a hyperparameter. A numerical application is carried out on a bladed-disk structure made up of 24 blades whose finite element model has about 800,000 dofs exhibiting complex dynamic behaviors.

Abstract It is widely known that the vibration characteristics of blade integrated discs can dramatically change in the presence of manufacturing tolerances and wear. In this context, an increasing number of publications discuss the influence of the geometrical variability of blades on phenomena like frequency splitting and mode localization. This contribution is investigating the validity of a stiffness modified reduced order model for predicting the modal parameters of a geometrically mistuned compressor stage. In detail, the natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as the corresponding mistuning patterns, are experimentally determined for an exemplary rotor. Furthermore, a blue light fringe projector is used to identify the geometrical differences between the actual rotor and the nominal blisk design. With the help of these digitization results, a realistic finite element model of the whole compressor stage is generated. Beyond that, a reduced order model is implemented based on the nominal design intention. Finally, the numerical predictions of the geometrically updated finite element model and the stiffness modified reduced order model are compared to the vibration measurement results. The investigation is completed by pointing out the benefits and limitations of the SNM-approach in the context of geometrically induced mistuning effects.

An approximate method that uses conventional condensation techniques for linear systems together with the nonparametric identification of the reduced-order model generalized nonlinear restoring forces is presented for reducing the order of discrete multidegree-of-freedom dynamic systems that possess arbitrary nonlinear characteristics. The utility of the proposed method is demonstrated by considering a redundant three-dimensional finite-element model half of whose elements incorporate hysteretic properties. A nonlinear reduced-order model, of one-third the order of the original model, is developed on the basis of wideband stationary random excitation and the validity of the reduced-order model is subsequently demonstrated by its ability to predict with adequate accuracy the transient response of the original nonlinear model under a different nonstationary random excitation.

The Oil and Gas industry is constantly seeking for improvements in the design of mechanical equipment. Each refining process is the subject of continuous research, which is frequently addressed in the revisions of the corresponding standard. Nevertheless, particular technologies such as the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU) are not governed by any International Standard but by designs developed and patented by specialized licensors. The implementation of new designs requires special studies of the original equipment in order to assess the feasibility of the related works and the required provisions to accomplish the revamp. This work studies the stress and displacement fields occurring in the hemispherical head of an FCC regenerator during the lifting maneuver for a typical cyclone replacement. A parametric finite element model was developed and stress and total displacement charts are presented as a function of diameters and thicknesses of hemispherical heads commonly found in the industry. Sensitivity analyses are presented with respect to a variation of ±15% of the applied loads and the size of the plenum chamber. Therefore, the results shown in this work present a reference framework for the replacement of cyclones in FCC regenerators when removing their hemispherical heads.
