Accurate structural modeling of blisk mistuning is critical for the analysis of forced response in turbomachinery. Apart from intentional mistuning, mistuning can be due to the manufacturing tolerances, corrosion, foreign object damage and in-service wear in general. It has been shown in past studies that mistuning can increase the risk of blade failure due to energy localization. For weak blade to blade coupling, this localization has been shown to be critical and higher amplitudes of vibration are expected in few blades. This paper presents a comparison of three reduced order models for the structural modeling of blisks. Two of the models assume cyclic symmetry while the third model is free of this assumption. The performance of the reduced order models for cases with small and large amount of mistuning will be examined. The benefits and drawbacks of each reduction method will be discussed.

A novel methodology to detect the presence of a crack and to predict the nonlinear forced response of mistuned turbine engine rotors with a cracked blade and mistuning is developed. The combined effects of the crack and mistuning are modeled. First, a hybrid-interface method based on component mode synthesis is employed to develop reduced-order models (ROMs) of the tuned system with a cracked blade. Constraint modes are added to model the displacements due to the intermittent contact between the crack surfaces. The degrees of freedom (DOFs) on the crack surfaces are retained as active DOFs so that the physical forces due to the contact/interaction (in the three-dimensional space) can be accurately modeled. Next, the presence of mistuning in the tuned system with a cracked blade is modeled. Component mode mistuning is used to account for mistuning present in the uncracked blades while the cracked blade is considered as a reference (with no mistuning). Next, the resulting (reduced-order) nonlinear equations of motion are solved by applying an alternating frequency/time-domain method. Using these efficient ROMs in a forced response analysis, it is found that the new modeling approach provides significant computational cost savings, while ensuring good accuracy relative to full-order finite element analyses. Furthermore, the effects of the cracked blade on the mistuned system are investigated and used to detect statistically the presence of a crack and to identify which blade of a full bladed disk is cracked. In particular, it is shown that cracks can be distinguished from mistuning.

Abstract Nonlinear forced response analyses of mechanical systems in the presence of contact interfaces are usually performed in built-in numerical codes on reduced order models (ROM). Most of the cases these derive from complex finite element (FE) models, because of the high accuracy the designers require in meshing the components in commercial FE software. In the technical literature several numerical methods are proposed for the identification of the nonlinear forced response in terms of kinematic quantity (i.e. displacement, velocity and acceleration) at the location where the master degrees-of-freedom are retained in the ROM. In fact, the displacement is the quantity usually adopted to monitor the nonlinear response, and to evaluate the effectiveness of a partially loose friction interface in damping vibrations with respect to a linear case where no friction interfaces exist and no energy dissipation can take place. However, when a ROM is used the engineering quantities directly involved in the mechanical design, i.e. the strains and stresses, cannot be retrieved without a further data processing. Moreover, in the case of a strong nonlinear behavior of the mechanical joints, the distributions of the nonlinear strains and stresses is likely different than the modal ones, meaning that the latter cannot be used to predict the safety margins of the structure working in real (nonlinear) operative conditions. This paper addresses this topic and presents a novel stress recovery algorithm for the identification of the strains and stresses resulting from a nonlinear forced response analysis on a ROM. The algorithm is applied to a bladed disk with friction contacts at the shroud joint, which make the behavior of the blades nonlinear and non-predictable by means of standard linear analyses in commercial FE software.

Abstract A procedure for developing efficient aeroelastic reduced order models (ROMs) for aerospace structures containing geometric nonlinearities is described. The structural modelling is based upon a combined modal/FE approach that describes the non-linear stiffening effects from results of non-linear static analyses for a range of prescribed inputs. Once the structural ROM has been defined, it is coupled to the rational fraction approximation of the doublet lattice aerodynamic model corresponding to the wing planform. The aeroelastic model can then be used to predict the dynamic aeroelastic behaviour of the defined structure. The methodology is demonstrated on the aeroelastic model of a flexible high aspect ratio wing with the static deflections, LCO behaviour and gust response being predicted.
