In order to control the risk of high cycle fatigue of bladed disks, it is important to predict precisely the vibration levels and to design damping solutions to attenuate them. Therefore, Snecma has made some efforts in the last years in order to characterize better the damping in aero-engines. Among the various damping sources, friction damping is particularly difficult to model due to its non-linear behaviour [1]. For that purpose, two methods based on multi-harmonic balance strategy have been especially developed for Snecma, dedicated to the study of the non-linear forced response of bladed disks. The first one enables to model the bladed disk equipped with dry-friction dampers [2], and the second one takes into account intrinsic friction located in disk-blade interface [3]. To validate both models experimentally, a test campaign has been carried out in a vacuum chamber on a rotating bladed disk excited by piezoelectric actuators. The blade shanks have been softened in order to increase friction effects. Experimental results show a regular and reproducible behaviour of the non-linear forced response, over various rotation speed and excitation levels. The contributions of friction dampers and friction in blade attachment have been decoupled thanks to glue applied in the blade root. Both friction phenomena that were observed experimentally at resonance of the blade first bending mode have been reproduced numerically. After updating modeling parameters, an acceptable correlation was found on resonance frequencies, amplitudes and damping levels over the full experimental setup range, which validates these numerical tools for their use in design process.

A great deal of attention is presently being drawn to the question of noise and vibration damping. One of the basic means of the effective damping of unfavorable noises and vibrations is the usage of special sheets with high vibration and noise damping properties in thin-slab structures. In this article the results of a study of the dynamic behavior (of the loss factor) of multilayer vibration damping sheets are being described. The aim of this article is to show the design optimization of multilayer vibration damping sheets, carrying a high loss factor. The theoretical prerequisites for the structure optimization of vibration damping sheets, having a high loss factor, have been determined. The experimental studies on the influence of the thickness of the vibration damping layer, thickness and Young’s modulus of experimental with theoretical data have also been carried out. More effective designs of multilayer vibration damping sheets have been scientifically substantiated.

This paper deals with the real dynamics characteristics of a mistuned steam turbine bladed disk subjected to dry friction forces to better understand the nonlinear mistuning phenomenon. Normal load, which directly affects contact stiffness between interfaces, is chosen as the mistuning parameter. Based on Mindlin model, a forced response analysis of the finite element model of mistuned bladed disk with damped shrouds is performed in ANSYS. Compared with results of other simplified models, a real and complicated nonlinear behavior are observed here. A mass of qualitative analysis is also performed to assess the impact of the mistuning magnitude and excitation level on the vibration. The result shows that, vibration response of bladed disk is affected by excitation and mistuning level significantly. Local amplification coefficient of vibration response in the cases of different mistuning levels is obtained by introducing 10 random mistuned patterns. In addition, frequency splitting phenomena even appears at one of the blades by the contribution of high mistuning levels. According to the calculated results for different excitation levels, the curve of modal damping varying with response amplitude is gained. Lastly, rigidity mistuning is introduced and a combined analysis is performed to investigate the influence of friction damping mistuning on rigidity mistuning in the same 10 random mistuning patterns. The arrangement of dry friction damping mistuning also could be controlled to reduce the local vibration amplification originating from structure mistuning. However, further statistical investigations should be made to gain more information. (CSPE)

The objective of the proposed study is to progress towards a better modeling of bladed assemblies dynamic. Coupling devices are introduced in bladed stages to increase frequencies of resonance above the range of possible excitations. Commonly they are not only used to stiffen flexible structures but also to increase damping by dry friction, reducing the amplitude of vibration. Consequently, the resulting dynamic behavior is complex and highly non linear. In order to improve numerical capabilities used for the design of part span shrouds and to gain a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of shrouded assemblies, a jointed experimental and numerical approach has been conducted. A first experimental test based on a cantilever beam is considered. The beam, excited by a controlled electrodynamic shaker, is associated to a dry friction damper at its free end. A numerical finite element analysis and a macroslip model of contact has been developed. The solution method in time domain allows accurate computations of response levels and gives the main harmonics of the steady state response. Comparison between numerical and experimental results is very good. A second experimental set up is constituted by an assembly of 13 beams, cyclically mounted around a common disk and linked by geometrically simplified shrouds. The set up allows controlling the resultant forces in the contact and is able to exhibit all states of contact from fully slipping to fully stuck. The first results obtained are associated to a single couple of blades brought into contact.
