The problem of determining the worst-case mistuning pattern and robust maximum mistuning forced response of a mistuned bladed rotor is formulated and solved as an optimization problem. This approach is exemplified on a two-degrees-of-freedom per blade disk model, two three-degrees-of-freedom per blade disk models, and a mistuned two-stage bladed rotor. The results of the optimum search of the worst-case mistuning patterns for the lumped parameter models are analyzed, which reveals that the maximum blade forced response in a mistuned bladed disk is associated with mistuning jump, which causes strong localization of the vibration response in a particular blade. The mistuning jump-localization phenomenon has been observed for all of the numerical examples, and it is also demonstrated that the highest response was always experienced by a blade of mistuning value jump. The two- and three-degrees-of-freedom per blade disk models are also for determination of its sensitivity coefficients with respect to mistuning variation. Studies show that there is not a threshold of mistuning beyond which the maximum forced response levels off, or even drops, as the degree of mistuning is increased further. The maximum magnification factor is found to increase as the mistuning level is increased and reaches a maximum value at the upper limit of the mistuning level. The influence of the multistage coupling is revealed by comparing the results of single-stage analysis with that of the multistage case. The computed results have been compared with the Monte Carlo simulation produced, and it is demonstrated that the accuracy and efficiency of the maximum amplitude magnification factor computed by the presented method can be better than that of Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper deals with a reduced-order model of a multi-stage rotor in which each stage has a different number of blades. In particular, it is shown that a reduced-order model can be developed on the basis of tuned modes of certain bladed disks. The validity of this algorithm is shown for a spring-mass model with three degrees of freedom per sector. In addition, the statistical distributions of the peak maximum amplitude are generated via Monte Carlo simulations, and the impact of mistuning is examined for a two-stage rotor.

High-performance aircraft engine fan and compressor blades are vulnerable to aerodynamically forced vibrations generated by inlet flow distortions due to wakes from upstream blade and vane rows, atmospheric gusts, and maldistributions in inlet ducts. In this paper, an analysis is developed to predict the flow-induced forced response behavior of an aerodynamically detuned rotor operating in a supersonic flow with a subsonic axial component. The aerodynamic detuning is achieved by alternating the circumferential spacing of adjacent rotor blades. The total unsteady aerodynamic loading acting on the blading, due to the convection of the transverse gust past the airfoil cascade and the resulting motion of the cascade, is developed in terms of influence coefficients. This analysis is then utilized to investigate the effect of aerodynamic detuning on the forced response characteristics of a 12-bladed rotor, with Verdon’s Cascade B flow geometry as a uniformly spaced baseline configuration. The results of this study indicate that for forward traveling wave gust excitations, aerodynamic detuning is generally very beneficial, resulting in significantly decreased maximum amplitude blade responses for many interblade phase angles.

Value Decomposition

In turbomachinery applications bladed disks are subjected to high dynamic loads due to fluctuating gas forces. Dynamic excitation can result in high vibration amplitudes which can lead to high cycle fatigue (HCF) failures. Herein, the blades are almost identical but differ due to wear or small manufacturing tolerances. Especially, after regeneration and repair procedures the properties of the blades can differ with a high variance. These deviations of the blade properties can lead to a localization of the vibrational energy in single blades and even higher risk of HCF. A recently developed substructure model with a combination of the Hurty transformation or Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) and the so called Wave Based Substructuring (WBS) is used to obtain a Reduced Order Model (ROM) with a reasonable low number of degrees of freedom. The CMS of the disk can be calculated with one cyclic disk segment of the underlying finite element model. The WBS is used to describe the numerous coupling degrees of freedom between the disk and the blades with a truncated set of waves. The orthogonal waves are derived by a Singular Value Decomposition or a QR decomposition from the coupling nodes normal modes calculated by a cyclic modal analysis of the full structure. The blade eigenvalues of the clamped blade can be mistuned individually under consideration of the variance as well as the correlation between the different eigenvalues of the blades. Monte-Carlo-Simulations are performed to calculate the effect of these parameters on the forced response of a mistuned bladed disk for blade dominated modes. Furthermore, Monte-Carlo-Simulations and a constraint optimization approach is used to calculate the worst and best case blade patterns for specific blade patterns and blade patterns with distributed blade properties.

Mechanism researchers have developed several types of codes and indices, to indicate if a pair of kinematic chains is isomorphic. Unfortunately, most of these codes or indices are either computationally inefficient or unreliable. This work establishes, for the first time, the reliability of the existing spectral techniques—characteristic polynomial and eigenvector approaches—for isomorphism detection. The reliability of characteristic polynomial of adjacency matrix is established by determining the number of pairs of non-isomorphic chains, with up to 14 links and one, two, and three degrees of freedom. The most recent eigenvector approach is critically reviewed and correct proof is provided for the statement that is the basis for this approach. It is shown, for the first time, that the eigenvector approach was able to identify all nonisomorphic chains, with up to 14 links and one, two, and three degrees of freedom. It is shown that unlike the characteristic polynomial method the eigenvector approach in worst case might take exponential time. Finally, efficient methods are suggested to the classical eigenvector approach by using the Perron–Frobenius theorem.

This paper focuses on the determination and study of the maximum amplification of the steady state forced response of bladed disks due to mistuning. First, an optimization strategy is proposed in which partially mistuned bladed disks are considered as physical approximations of the worst case disk and the mistuned properties are sought to maximize the response of a specific blade. This approach is exemplified on both a reduced order model of a blisk and a single-degree-of-freedom per blade disk model an extensive parametric study of which is conducted with respect to blade-to-blade coupling, damping, and engine order. A mode shape-based formulation of the amplification factor is then developed to clarify the findings of the parametric study in the strong coupling/small damping limit. In this process, the upper bound of Whitehead is recovered for all engine orders and number of blades and the conditions under which this limit is exactly achieved or closely approached are clarified. This process also uncovers a simple yet reliable approximation of the resonant mode shapes and natural frequencies of the worst disk.

Mistuning has traditionally been modeled through the changes in Young’s moduli of blades, or equivalently through perturbations in the stiffness matrices associated with blades’ degrees of freedom. Such a mistuning is termed as Frequency Mistuning because it alters the blade alone frequencies without altering the mode shapes component associated with the blades. Many reduced order models have been developed for frequency mistuning [1–7]. Although frequency mistuning has been developed for Young’s Modulus mistuning, it is applied to geometric mistuning in the literature. In this paper frequency mistuning is applied to a geometrically mistuned system and the results from Subset of Nominal Modes (SNM) [5] technique, a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning, are compared with those from Modified Modal Domain Analysis (MMDA). It is shown that frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning in general, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes and forced response.

The primary task of this study is to offer reliable and accurate model of a bladed disk containing cracked blade. This model allows simulation of bladed disk dynamic behavior for various crack positions and lengths. Due to absence of cyclic symmetry caused by crack presence in the disk, a reduction procedure was implemented to simulate full bladed disk. It is proposed to use crack location as an interface between two substructures for subsequent fixed-interface method application. Harmonic balance method was applied to take into account crack nonlinear behavior under periodically varying loads. The method implementation considers contact interaction between crack sides at the crack being closed. The contact force is calculated using penalty method of contact force calculation. Relative vertical displacements between nodes in contact were used as nonlinear degrees of freedom (DOFs). Developed bladed disk model is able to take into account external excitation forces phase lag caused by difference between number of rotor and stator blades. Also presence of mistuning was considered. It was shown that certain level of mistuning can directly affect cracked blade detectability. Cracked blade dynamic behavior localization plays here very important role. Absence of cracked blade localization results in impossibility to separate cracked blade response at any mistuning level. Validity of zig-zag diagram for structures with disrupted symmetry is shown using developed bladed disk model with presence of certain level of mistuning.

Forced response analysis of bladed disk assemblies plays a crucial role in rotor blade design, and therefore has been investigated by researchers extensively. However, due to lack of computation power, several studies in the literature utilize either linear mistuned models which are short of capturing nonlinear effects, or non-linear tuned models which do not catch the effects of mistuning. Studying the combined effect of the two, namely non-linearity and mistuning, is relatively recent and generally conducted with methods whose convergence and accuracy depend highly on the number of degrees of freedom related with the non-linear elements. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to predict forced response of frictionally damped mistuned bladed disk assemblies in modal domain. A friction element, which enables normal load variation and separation of the contact interface, is utilized to determine the non-linear contact forces in three-dimensional space, and harmonic balance method is used to obtain a relationship between the non-linear contact forces and the relative motion. As mistuning phenomenon destroys the cyclic symmetry, modeling the whole assembly rather than a sector of it is necessary, which increases the number of non-linear elements required considerably. In the proposed approach, the analysis is carried out in modal domain where the differential equations of motions are converted to a set of non-linear algebraic equations using harmonic balance method and modal superposition technique. Thus, the number of non-linear equations to be solved is proportional to the number of modes retained, rather than the number of degrees of freedom related with the nonlinear elements. Therefore, the proposed approach can be applied to realistic bladed disk models without increasing the number of non-linear equations. Moreover, to accomplish this it is not required to use a reduced order model in the method suggested. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the implementation of the method: a lumped parameter bladed disk model and an academic bladed disk model with shrouds.
