A reduced order approach is introduced in this paper that can be used to predict the steady-state response of mistuned bladed disks. This approach takes results directly from a finite element analysis of a tuned system and, based on the assumption of rigid blade base motion, constructs a computationally efficient mistuned model with a reduced number of degrees of freedom. Based on a comparison of results predicted by different approaches, it is concluded that: The reduced order model displays structural fidelity comparable to that of a finite element model of the entire bladed disk system with significantly improved computational efficiency; and under certain circumstances both the finite element model and the reduced order model predict quite different response from simple spring-mass models.

Reduced order models have been reported in the literature that can be used to predict the harmonic response of mistuned bladed disks. It has been shown that in many cases they exhibit structural fidelity comparable to a finite element analysis of the full bladed disk system while offering a significant improvement in computational efficiency. In these models the blades and disk are treated as distinct substructures. This paper presents a new, simpler approach for developing reduced order models in which the modes of the mistuned system are represented in terms of a sub-set of nominal system modes. It has the following attributes: the input requirements are relatively easy to generate; it accurately predicts mistuning effects in regions where frequency veering occurs; as the number of degrees of freedom increases it converges to the exact solution; it accurately predicts stresses as well as displacements; and it accurately models the deformation and stresses at the blades’ bases.

The Finite Element Model

A nonlinear one-dimensional finite-element model representing the axial and transverse motions of a cantilevered rotating beam is reduced to a single nonlinear normal mode using invariant manifold techniques. This system is an idealized representation for large-amplitude vibrations of a rotorcraft blade. Although this model is relatively simple, it possesses the essential nonlinear coupling effects between the axial and transverse degrees of freedom. The nature of this coupling leads to the fact that we must use many degrees of freedom, whether based on finite elements or modal expansions, in order to accurately represent the beam vibrations. In this work, the slow modal convergence problem is overcome by nonlinear modal reduction that makes use of invariant manifold based nonlinear modes. This reduction procedure generates a single-degree-of-freedom reduced-order model that systematically accounts for the dynamics of all the linear modes, or finite elements, considered in the original model. The approach is used to study the dynamic characteristics of the finite-element model over a wide range of vibration amplitudes. Using extensive simulations, it is shown that the response of the reduced-order model is nearly identical to a reference system which is based on a large-scale representation of the finite-element model, and to a reduced-order Rayleigh-Ritz model. All of the procedures presented here have been computationally automated. Hence, in this study we demonstrate that it is feasible and practical to interface nonlinear finite-element methods with nonlinear modal reduction.

Numerical Predictions

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.

Reduced Order

Optimization-based solutions to inverse problems involve the coupling of an analysis model, such as a finite element model, with a numerical optimization method. The goal is to determine a set of parameters that minimize an objective function that is determined by solving the analysis model. In this paper, we present an approach that dramatically reduces the computational cost for solving this inverse problems in this way by replacing the original full order finite element model (FOM) with a reduced order model (ROM) that is both accurate and quick to compute. The reduced order model is constructed with basis functions generated using proper orthogonal decomposition of set of solutions from the FOM. A discrete Galerkin method is used to project the differential equation on the basis functions. This approach allows us to transform the linear full order finite element model into an equivalent discrete ROM with far fewer unknowns. The method is applied to a parameter estimation problem in heat transfer. Specifically, we determine the parameters governing the magnitude and distribution of an unknown surface heat flux moving at a constant velocity across the surface of a solid bar of material. A finite element model was implemented in the commercial package COMSOL and a corresponding ROM was constructed. The ROM was coupled with an optimization algorithm to determine the parameter values that minimized the distance between the computed surface temperatures and the target surface temperature. The target surface temperature was generated using simulated measurements produced from the full order finite element model. Several optimization methods were used. The results show the approach can recover the parameters with high accuracy with twenty seven FOM runs.

Nonlinear Finite Element Model

This paper presents a nonlinear finite element model for the leaf spring that can be used in multibody applications and vehicle dynamic simulations. The floating frame of reference formulation is used in this investigation to model leaf spring nonlinear dynamics. This formulation accounts for the coupling between different modes of deformation as well as the nonlinear coupling between the rigid body motion and the elastic deformation. By employing component mode synthesis techniques, a reduced order model is obtained for the leaf spring while maintaining a good degree of accuracy. The inertia shape integrals can be calculated once in advance using a preprocessor and then stored to be used to automatically generate the nonlinear equations of motion of the leaf spring. The use of a preprocessor to evaluate the inertia shape integrals before the dynamic simulation leads to considerable saving in CPU time and allows the utilization of existing finite element computer codes to obtain the data required for the flexible body simulation. This reduced order model is implemented in a general multibody algorithm in order to examine the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed techniques. As an application, the wind-up deformation of the front suspension system of a typical sport utility vehicle under severe braking condition is investigated.

Random Mistuning

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.

A new reduction method for vibration analysis of intentionally mistuned bladed disks is presented. The method is built for solving the dynamic problem of cyclic structures with geometric modifications. It is based on the use of the cyclic modes of the different sectors, which can be obtained from a usual cyclic symmetry modal analysis. Hence the projection basis is constituted; as well as, on the whole bladed disk, each sector matrix is reduced by its own modes. The method is validated numerically on a real bladed disk model, by comparing free and forced responses of a full model finite element analysis to those of a reduced-order model using the new reduction method.
