A efficient method for the calculation of the forced response of mistuned bladed disks is introduced. Based on the Component Mode Synthesis techniques the structure is divided into substructures, namely the disk and the blades. The Component Mode Synthesis of the disk is calculated with a fast and accurate cyclic symmetry approach. A recently developed method called Wave Based Substructuring is used to describe the (numerous) coupling degrees of freedom between the disk and the blades. The orthogonal waves are derived with a Singular Value Decomposition or a QR decomposition from the coupling nodes’ normal modes calculated by a modal analysis of the full structure.

In turbomachinery applications bladed disks and blisks are subjected to high dynamic loads due to fluctuating gas forces. The dynamic excitation results in high vibration amplitudes which can lead to high cycle fatigue failures (HCF). Herein, the blades are almost identical but differ due to wear or small manufacturing tolerances. These small deviations of the blade properties can lead to a localization of the vibrational energy in single blades and even higher risk of HCF. Intentional mistuning, for example an alternating alignment of two different blades AB around the blisk, has been studied in literature to decrease the sensitivity against statistical mistuning. Using a Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) based mistuning model the influence of intentional mistuning on blisks is analyzed in this paper. Therein, the CMS of the disk is calculated with a fast and accurate cyclic symmetry approach. Therefore, the CMS of the disk can be calculated with one disk segment of the underlying Finite Element Model. The so called Wave Based Substructuring (WBS) is used to reduce the (numerous) coupling degrees of freedom between the disk and the blades with a truncated set of waves. The orthogonal waves are derived with a Singular Value Decomposition or a QR decomposition from the normal modes at the coupling degrees of freedom (DOF) calculated by a cyclic modal analysis of the full structure. In a case study the Reduced Order Model (ROM) of a spatial Finite Element Model is used to determine the influence of intentional mistuning with additional statistical mistuning on the forced response of blisks.

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.

A damping strategy for integrally bladed disks (blisks) is discussed in this paper; this involves the use of friction rings located underside the wheel of bladed disks. The forced response of the blisk with friction rings is derived in the frequency domain using a frequency domain approach known as Dynamic Lagrangian Frequency-Time method. The blisk is modeled using a reduced-order model and the rings are modeled using beam elements. The results of some numerical simulations and parametric studies are presented. The range of application of this damping device is discussed. Parametric studies are presented and allow to understand the dissipation phenomena. Finally some design and optimization guidelines are given.

Efficient Representation

The component mode synthesis (CMS) based on the Craig–Bampton (CB) method has two strong limitations that appear when the number of the interface degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) is large. First, the reduced-order model (ROM) obtained is overweighed by many unnecessary DOF. Second, the reduction step may become extremely time consuming. Several interface reduction (IR) techniques addressed successfully the former problem, while the latter remains open. In this paper, we tackle this latter problem through a simple IR technique based on an a-priory choice of the interface modes. An efficient representation of the interface displacement field is achieved adopting a set of orthogonal basis functions determined by the interface geometry. The proposed method is compared with other existing IR methods on a case study regarding a rotor blade of an axial compressor.

Most aircraft turbojet engines consist of multiple stages coupled by means of bolted flange joints which potentially represent source of nonlinearities due to friction phenomena. Methods aimed at predicting the forced response of multistage bladed disks have to take into account such nonlinear behavior and its effect in damping blades vibration. In this paper, a novel reduced order model (ROM) is proposed for studying nonlinear vibration due to contacts in multistage bladed disks. The methodology exploits the shape of the single-stage normal modes at the interstage boundary being mathematically described by spatial Fourier coefficients. Most of the Fourier coefficients represent the dominant kinematics in terms of the well-known nodal diameters (standard harmonics), while the others, which are detectable at the interstage boundary, correspond to new spatial small wavelength phenomena named as extra harmonics. The number of Fourier coefficients describing the displacement field at the interstage boundary only depends on the specific engine order (EO) excitation acting on the multistage system. This reduced set of coefficients allows the reconstruction of the physical relative displacement field at the interface between stages and, under the hypothesis of the single harmonic balance method (SHBM), the evaluation of the contact forces by employing the classic Jenkins contact element. The methodology is here applied to a simple multistage bladed disk and its performance is tested using as a benchmark the Craig–Bampton ROMs of each single stage.

Random Mistuning

The focus of this paper is on demonstrating the potential to damp entire bladed disks using dampers on only a fraction of the blades. This problem is first considered without the presence of random mistuning, and it is demonstrated that a few dampers at optimized locations can lead to a significant reduction in the forced response of the entire bladed disk. Unfortunately, this optimum design may not be robust with respect to random mistuning and a notable fraction of the reduction in forced response obtained may disappear because of mistuning. To regain the reduction in forced response but with mistuning present, robustness to mistuning is enhanced by using intentional mistuning in addition to dampers. The intentional mistuning strategy selected here is the A/B pattern mistuning in which the blades all belong to either type A or B. An optimization effort is then performed to obtain the best combination of A/B pattern and damper location to minimize the mistuned forced response of the disk. The addition of intentional mistuning in the system is shown to be very efficient, and the optimum bladed disk design does indeed exhibit a significant reduction in mistuned forced response as compared with the tuned system. These findings were obtained on both single-degree-of-freedom per blade-disk models and a reduced order model of a blisk.

Synthesis Approach

This paper presents important improvements and extensions to a computationally efficient reduced order modeling technique for the vibration analysis of mistuned bladed disks. In particular, this work shows how the existing modeling technique is readily extended to turbomachinery rotors with shrouded blades. The modeling technique employs a component mode synthesis approach to systematically generate a reduced order model (ROM) using component modes calculated from a finite element model (FEM) of the rotor. Based on the total number of degrees of freedom, the ROM is typically two or three orders of magnitude smaller than the FEM. This makes it feasible to predict the forced response statistics of mistuned bladed disks using Monte Carlo simulations. In this work, particular attention is devoted to the introduction of mistuning into the ROM of a shrouded assembly. Mistuning is modeled by projecting the mistuned natural frequencies of a single, cantilever blade with free shrouds onto the harmonic modes of the shrouded blade assembly. Thus, the necessary mistuning information may be measured by testing individual blades.

This paper focuses on the formulation and validation of a novel perturbation method for the prediction of the forced response of mistuned bladed disks. At the contrary of previous approaches, the proposed one involves the sum of the inverses of the tuned and mistuned impedance matrices through the use of the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula. Then, considering these inverses as diagonal dominant matrices leads to an efficient series representation of the forced response of mistuned bladed disks. A detailed validation effort of this new procedure was next achieved. In particular, it was demonstrated that this approach leads to a convergent series representation over the entire range of blade-disk coupling levels for small mistuning. The dominant parameter affecting the magnitude of the largest mistuning for which convergence occurs is shown to be the system damping with a weaker effect of the blade-disk coupling. Examples of application to a single-degree-of-freedom per blade model and the reduced order model of a blisk demonstrate the potential of this novel approach. Finally, the applicability of this technique for the optimization of intentional mistuning pattern is shown.

Bladed Disk

A new reduced order modeling technique for nonlinear vibration analysis of mistuned bladed disks with shrouds is presented. The developed reduction technique employs two component mode synthesis methods, namely, the Craig-Bampton (CB) method followed by a modal synthesis based on loaded interface (LI) modeshapes (Benfield and Hruda). In the new formulation, the fundamental sector is divided into blade and disk components. The CB method is applied to the blade, where nodes lying on shroud contact surfaces and blade–disk interfaces are retained as master nodes, while modal reductions are performed on the disk sector with LIs. The use of LI component modes allows removing the blade–disk interface nodes from the set of master nodes retained in the reduced model. The result is a much more reduced order model (ROM) with no need to apply any secondary reduction. In the paper, it is shown that the ROM of the mistuned bladed disk can be obtained with only single-sector calculation, so that the full finite element model of the entire bladed disk is not necessary. Furthermore, with the described approach, it is possible to introduce the blade frequency mistuning directly into the reduced model. The nonlinear forced response is computed using the harmonic balance method and alternating frequency/time domain approach. Numerical simulations revealed the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of the new developed technique for nonlinear vibration analysis of mistuned bladed disks with shroud friction contacts.
