This paper deals with the development of an accurate reduced-order model of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. The method is based on vibratory modes of various tuned systems and proper orthogonal decomposition of coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data on blade geometries. Results for an academic rotor are presented to establish the validity of the technique.

In this paper, we present an approach to determine probing points for the CMM (coordinate measurement machine) measurement. A surface uncertainty based approach is developed to maximize the amount of information acquired by the touch probing of the surface deviations caused by machining errors. The surface uncertainty is modeled by the Gaussian process model and the probing points are selected to minimize the maximum surface uncertainty (surface variance) conditioned on the touch probings at the selected points. The algorithm has been tested with various numerical examples and has been applied in real machining scenarios. The surface reconstruction error based on the developed algorithm is 50% smaller than uniform sampling. The experiments of on machine probing has validated that the selected points can adequately capture the machining errors.

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.

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.

To meet the requirement of high precision measurement of coordinate measurement machine system, a compact microprobe has been designed for 3D measurement in this paper. Aiming to reduce the influences of signal coupling during the probing process, the probe has been designed by adopting two elastic mechanisms, in which the horizontal and vertical motions of the probe tip can be separated by differential signals of quadrant photodetectors in each elastic mechanism. A connecting rod has been designed to transfer the displacement of the probe tip in vertical direction from lower to upper elastic mechanisms. The sensitivity models in horizontal and vertical directions have been established, and the sensor sensitivity has been verified through experiments. Furthermore, the signal coupling of three axes has been analyzed, and mathematical models have been proposed for decoupling. The probing performance has been verified experimentally.
