Two deterministic mistuning models utilizing component mode synthesis methods are used in a Monte Carlo simulation to generate mistuned response distributions for a geometrically perturbed Integrally Bladed Rotor. The first method, a frequency-perturbation approach with a nominal mode approximation used widely in academia and industry, assumes airfoil geometric perturbations alter only the corresponding modal stiffnesses while its mode shapes remain unaffected. The mistuned response is then predicted by a summation of the nominal modes. The second method, a geometric method utilizing non-nominal modes, makes no simplifying assumptions of the dynamic response due to airfoil geometric perturbations, but requires recalculation of each airfoil eigen-problem. A comparison of the statistical moments of the mistuned response distributions and prediction error is given for three different frequency ranges and engine order excitations. Further, the response distributions are used for a variety of design and testing scenarios to highlight impacts of the frequency-based approach inaccuracy. Results indicate the frequency-based method typically provides conservative response levels.

The potential of intentional mistuning to reduce the maximum forced response is analyzed within the development of an axial turbine blisk for ship diesel engine turbocharger applications. The basic idea of the approach is to provide an increased aerodynamic damping level for particular engine order excitations and mode shapes without any significant distortions of the aerodynamic performance. The mistuning pattern intended to yield a mitigation of the forced response is derived from an optimization study applying genetic algorithms. Two blisk prototypes have been manufactured a first one with and another one without employing intentional mistuning. Hence, the differences regarding the real mistuning and other modal properties can be experimentally determined and evaluated as well. In addition, the experimental data basis allows for updating structural models which are well suited to compute the forced response under operational conditions. In this way, the real benefit achieved with the application of intentional mistuning is demonstrated.

Improved Model

This paper describes an accurate mathematical model that can predict forced vibration of a rotating spindle system with a flexible stationary part. In particular, we demonstrate this new formulation on a hard disk drive (HDD) spindle to predict its position error signal (PES). This improved method is a nontrivial extension of the mathematical model by Shen and his fellow researchers, as the improved method allows the flexible stationary part to comprise multiple substructures. When applied to HDD vibration, the improved model consists not only a rotating hub, multiple rotating disks, a stationary base, and bearings (as in Shen’s model) but also an independent flexible carriage part. Moreover, the carriage part is connected to the stationary base with pivot bearings and to the disks with air bearings at the head sliders mounted on the far end of the carriage. To build the improved mathematical model, we use finite element analysis (FEA) to model the complicated geometry of the rotating hub, the stationary base and the flexible carriage. With the mode shapes, natural frequencies, and modal damping ratios obtained from FEA, we use the principle of virtual work and component-mode synthesis to derive an equation of motion. Naturally, the stiffness and damping matrices of the equation of motion depend on properties of the pivot and air bearings as well as the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the flexible base, the flexible carriage, the hub, and the disks. Under this formulation, we define PES resulting from spindle vibration as the product of the relative displacement between the head element and the disk surface and the error rejection transfer function. To verify the improved model, we measured the frequency response functions using impact hammer tests for a real HDD that had a fluid-dynamic bearing spindle, two disks, and three heads. The experimental results agreed very well with the simulation results not only in natural frequencies but also in gain and phase.

This paper deals with the development of a procedure to model geometric variations of blades. Specifically, vibratory parameters of blades are extracted from CMM data on an integrally bladed rotor (IBR). The method is based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of CMM data, solid modeling and finite element techniques. In addition to obtaining natural frequencies and mode shapes of each blade on an IBR, statistics of these modal parameters are also computed and characterized. Numerical results are validated by comparison with experimental results.

Classical component mode synthesis methods for reduction are usually limited by the size and compatibility of the coupling interfaces. A component mode synthesis approach with constrained coupling interfaces is presented for vibro-acoustic modelling. The coupling interfaces are constrained to six displacement degrees of freedom. These degrees of freedom represent rigid interface translations and rotations respectively, retaining an undeformed interface shape. This formulation is proposed for structures with coupling between softer and stiffer substructures in which the displacement is chiefly governed by the stiffer substructure. Such may be the case for the rubber-bushing/linking arm assembly in a vehicle suspension system. The presented approach has the potential to significantly reduce the modelling size of such structures, compared with classical component mode synthesis which would be limited by the modelling size of the interfaces. The approach also eliminates problems of nonconforming meshes in the interfaces since only translation directions, rotation axes and the rotation point need to be common for the coupled substructures. Simulation results show that the approach can be used for modelling of systems that resemble a vehicle suspension. It is shown for a test case that adequate engineering accuracy can be achieved when the stiffness properties of the connecting parts are within the expected range of rubber connected to steel.

The results from a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning are compared with those from recently developed modified modal domain analysis (MMDA). For the academic bladed rotor considered in this paper, the frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response.

Modified modal domain analysis (MMDA), a reduced order modeling technique, is applied to a geometrically mistuned integrally bladed rotor to obtain its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response. The geometric mistuning of blades is described in terms of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data. Results from MMDA are compared to those from the full (360 deg) rotor Ansys model. It is found that the MMDA can accurately predict natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response. The effects of the number of POD features and the number of tuned modes used as bases for model reduction are examined. Results from frequency mistuning approaches, fundamental mistuning model (FMM) and subset of nominal modes (SNM), are also generated and compared to those from full (360 deg) rotor Ansys model. It is clearly seen that FMM and SNM are unable to yield accurate results whereas MMDA yields highly accurate results.
