Abstract A method is proposed to analyze the modal damping in mistuned bladed-disk with root joints using large finite element models and the detailed description of frictional interactions at contact interfaces. The influence of mistuning on the dissipated energy for different blades on a bladed-disk and the modal damping factors for different vibration levels for any family of modes can be investigated. The dissipated energy and damping factors due to microslip are simulated by multitude of surface-to-surface elements modeling the friction contact interactions at root joints. The analysis is performed in the time domain, and an original reduction method is developed to obtain the results with acceptable computational times. The model reduction method allows the calculation of the modal damping of the mistuned assembly by evaluation of the energy dissipated at root joint of each individual blade using small parts of bladed disk sectors. The dependency of modal damping factor on blade mode shapes, engine-order excitation numbers, nodal diameter numbers, and vibration amplitudes is studied and the distributions of amplitude and dissipated energy on the mistuned bladed-disk are investigated using a realistic blade disk model.

An effective method for analysis of periodic forced response of nonlinear cyclically symmetric structures has been developed. The method allows multiharmonic forced response to be calculated for a whole bladed disk using a periodic sector model without any loss of accuracy in calculations and modeling. A rigorous proof of the validity of the reduction of the whole nonlinear structure to a sector is provided. Types of bladed disk forcing for which the method may be applied are formulated. A multiharmonic formulation and a solution technique for equations of motion have been derived for two cases of description for a linear part of the bladed disk model: (i) using sector finite element matrices and (ii) using sector mode shapes and frequencies. Calculations validating the developed method and a numerical investigation of a realistic high-pressure turbine bladed disk with shrouds have demonstrated the high efficiency of the method.

For bladed-disk assemblies in turbomachinery, the elements are often exposed to aerodynamic loadings, the so-called engine order excitations. It has been reported that such excitations could cause significant structural vibration. The vibration level could become even more excessive when the bladed disk is mistuned, and may cause fatigue damage to the engine components. To effectively suppress vibration in bladed disks, a piezoelectric transducer networking concept has been explored previously by the authors. While promising, the idea was developed based on a simplified bladed-disk model without considering the disk dynamics. To advance the state of the art, this research further extends the investigation with focus on new circuitry designs for a more sophisticated and realistic system model with the consideration of coupled-blade-disk dynamics. A novel multicircuit piezoelectric transducer network is synthesized and analyzed for multiple-harmonic vibration suppression of bladed disks. An optimal network is derived analytically. The performance of the network for bladed disks with random mistuning is examined through Monte Carlo simulation. The effects of variations (mistuning and detuning) in circuit parameters are also studied. A method to improve the system performance and robustness utilizing negative capacitance is discussed. Finally, experiments are carried out to demonstrate the vibration suppression capability of the proposed piezoelectric circuitry network.

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.

The results of an experimental investigation on the effects of random blade mistuning on the forced dynamic response of bladed disks are reported. Two experimental specimens are considered: a nominally periodic twelve-bladed disk with equal blade lengths, and the corresponding mistuned bladed disk, which features slightly different blades of random lengths. Both specimens are subject to traveling-wave excitations delivered by piezo-electric actuators. The primary aim of the experiment is to demonstrate the occurrence of an increase in forced response blade amplitudes due to mistuning, and to verify analytical predictions about the magnitude of these increases. In particular, the impact of localized mode shapes, engine order excitation, and disk structural coupling on the sensitivity of forced response amplitudes to blade mistuning is reported. This work reports one of the first systematic experiments carried out to demonstrate and quantify the effect of mistuning on the forced response of bladed disks.

In this paper, a methodology is developed for analysis of modal damping in root joints of bladed discs using large finite element models and detailed description of friction contacts at contact interfaces of the joints. The methods allows the analysis of: (i) a single blade vibration and (ii) a bladed-disc assembly for any family of modes (lower and higher modes) calculating the modal damping factors for different levels of vibrations. Three-dimension solid finite element models are used in the calculations. The analysis is performed in time domain through the transient dynamics analysis. The methodology allows the use of widely available finite element packages and based on the direct calculation of the energy dissipated at root joints due to micro-slip over the multitude of contact elements modelling the surface-to-surface friction contact interactions. The numerical studies of the dependency of modal damping factors on the vibration amplitudes are performed for simplified and realistic bladed disc models for different blade mode shapes, engine-order excitation numbers and nodal diameter numbers using high-fidelity models.

Freestanding turbine blades have typically low structural damping and thus require additional friction damping devices, such as underplatform dampers. The friction coupling between neighboring blades reduces response amplitude and increases resonance frequency. Along with forced response excitation large blades, especially of last stage, could be excited by fluid structural interaction (flutter). To prevent such excitation alternate mistuned blade patterns are beneficial disturbing traveling waves in the stage. In this paper the influence of alternate mistuning is investigated with a simplified oscillator chain as well as a bladed disk assembly coupled by frictional contacts. It is pointed out that the performance of friction coupling can be improved by alternate mistuning as long as the engine order of the excitation is below quarter of the number of blades. Alternate mistuning causes a mode coupling between two nodal diameter vibration mode shapes allowing for energy transfer. The in-house developed software code DATAR is enhanced and alternate mistuning can be applied to the blades as well as to the damping elements. For validation the DATAR code was applied to an alternate mistuned last stage blade of a Siemens gas turbine and compared with available field engine measurement.

This paper presents the results of an investigation addressing the effects of mistuning on the lower modes of vibration of a simple bladed-disk model. The phenomena of dual modes, also known as mode splitting, is studied using holographic interferometry and strain gage measurements under nonrotating and rotating conditions. Resonant amplitudes, mode shapes, and natural frequencies of the disk model were determined, without deliberately mistuning the disk. The tests were then repeated with the disk deliberately mistuned to varying degrees, paying particular attention to the second diameter (2N) dual modes. Additionally, tests were conducted on the disk at a rotational speed of 2000 rpm, in an effort to gain insight as to the vibratory characteristics of the disk under rotating conditions.

A continuous method is presented for representing the mode interaction that occurs in frequency veering in terms of the nominal sector modes of a cyclic symmetric bladed disk model constrained at a fixed reference interblade phase angle. Using this method, the effect of frequency veering on the mode shapes can be considered in the context of the generalized forces exciting the system and the modal response of the bladed disk. It is shown that in a blade-dominated family of modes, the transfer of modal energy to the disk in the veering results in a lower generalized force exciting the mode as well as reduced response amplitude in the blade. For the disk-dominated modes, the sharing of modal energy with the blades can lead to the disk being excited by aerodynamic loading. These effects can have important implications for predicting and interpreting forced response in bladed disks. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.
