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.

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.

A great deal of research has been conducted on the effects of small random variations in structural properties, known as mistuning, in single stage bladed disks. Due to the inherent randomness of mistuning and the large dimensionality of the models of industrial bladed disks, a reduced order modeling approach is required to understand the effects of mistuning on a particular bladed disk design. Component mode mistuning (CMM) is an efficient compact reduced order modeling method that was developed to handle this challenge in single stage bladed disks. In general, there are multiple stages in bladed disk assemblies, and it has been demonstrated that for certain frequency ranges accurate modeling of the entire bladed disk assembly is required because multi-stage modes exist. In this work, a statistical characterization of structural mistuning in multi-stage bladed disks is carried out. The results were obtained using CMM combined with a multi-stage modeling approach previously developed. In addition to the statistical characterization, a new efficient classification method is detailed for characterizing the properties of a mode. Also, the effects of structural mistuning on the characterization of the mode is explored.

A new reduced order modeling technique for nonlinear vibration analysis of mistuned bladed disks with shrouds is presented. It has been shown in the literature that the loss of cyclic symmetry properties which is known as mistuning could considerably increase the response level, localize the vibration around few number of blades and finally bring high cyclic fatigue. 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 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 is performed on the disk sector with loaded interfaces. The use of loaded interface 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 with no need to apply any secondary reduction. In the paper it is shown that the reduced order model 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. In this way, reduction is performed only once in case of multiple analyses, necessary for statistical characterization of the nonlinear response of the system. The nonlinear forced response is computed using the harmonic balance method (HBM) and alternating frequency/time domain (AFT) approach. Friction contacts are introduced into the FE model using a 3D contact element. 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.

In this paper, a component-based parametric reduced-order modeling (PROM) technique for vibration analysis of complex structures is presented, and applications to both structural design optimization and uncertainty analysis are shown. In structural design optimization, design parameters are allowed to vary in the feasible design space. In probabilistic analysis, selected model parameters are assumed to have predefined probability distributions. For both cases, each realization corresponding to a specific set of parameter values could be evaluated accurately based on the exact modes for the system with those parametric values. However, as the number of realizations increases, this approach becomes prohibitively expensive, especially for largescale finite element models. Recently, a PROM method that employs a fixed projection basis was introduced to avoid the eigenanalysis for each variation while retaining good accuracy. The fixed basis is comprised of a combination of selected mode sets of the full model calculated at only a few sampling points in the parameter space. However, the preparation for the basis may still be cumbersome, and the simulation cost and the model size increase rapidly as the number of parameters increases. In this work, a component-based approach is taken to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the PROM technique. In particular, a component mode synthesis method is employed so that the parameter changes are captured at the substructure level and the analysis procedure is accelerated. Numerical results are presented for two example problems, a design optimization of a pickup truck and a probabilistic analysis of a simple L-shaped plate. It is shown that the new component-based approach significantly improves the efficiency of the PROM technique.

The analysis of the response statistics of mistuned turbomachinery rotors requires an expensive Monte Carlo simulation approach. Simple lumped parameter models capture basic localization effects but do not represent well actual engineering structures without a difficult parameter identification. Current component mode analysis techniques generally require a minimum number of degrees of freedom which is too large for running Monte Carlo simulations at a reasonable cost. In the present work, an order reduction method is introduced which is capable of generating reasonably accurate, very low order models of tuned or mistuned bladed disks. This technique is based on component modes of vibration found from a finite element analysis of a single disk-blade sector. It is shown that the phenomenon of mode localization is well captured by the reduced order modeling technique.

Forced Responses

In this paper, the component-mode-based methods formulated in the companion paper (Part I: Theoretical Models) are applied to the dynamic analysis of two example finite element models of bladed disks. Free and forced responses for both tuned and mistuned rotors are considered. Comprehensive comparisons are made among the techniques using full system finite element solutions as a benchmark. The accurate capture of eigenfrequency veering regions is of critical importance for obtaining high-fidelity predictions of the rotor’s sensitivity to mistuning. Therefore, particular attention is devoted to this subject. It is shown that the Craig–Bampton component mode synthesis (CMS) technique is robust and yields highly reliable results. However, this is achieved at considerable computational cost due to the retained component interface degrees of freedom. It is demonstrated that this problem is alleviated by a secondary modal analysis reduction technique (SMART). In addition, a non-CMS mistuning projection method is considered. Although this method is elegant and accurate, it is seen that it lacks the versatility and efficiency of the CMS-based SMART. Overall, this work shows that significant improvements on the accuracy and efficiency of current reduced order modeling methods are possible.

Predicting the influence of cracks on the dynamics of bladed disks is a very important challenge. Cracks change the structural response, which in turn changes the crack propagation characteristics. Hence, accurate and computationally effective means to model the dynamics of cracked bladed disks and blisks is particularly crucial in applications such as prognosis, guidance for repairs, characterization after repairs, design, and structural health monitoring. Most current models of bladed disks exploit cyclic symmetry to gain computational efficiency. However, the presence of cracks and mistuning destroys that symmetry and makes computational predictions much more expensive. In this work, we propose a new reduced order modeling methodology that can speed up computations by several orders of magnitude. There are two key components of the new methodology. First, the displacements and deformations of the crack surfaces are not modeled in absolute coordinates but relative coordinates, which allows for an effective model reduction based on (fixed-interface Craig–Bampton) component mode synthesis (CMS). The use of relative coordinates allows one to define one of the components in CMS as the pristine/uncracked structure (with mistuning). This approach is used in combination with a set of accurate approximations for the constraint modes used in CMS. Second, the effects of mistuning are captured by component mode mistuning, which allows the construction of extremely efficient reduced order models for the pristine/uncracked component with mistuning. The novel proposed method is applied to a finite element model of an industrial blisk. The combined presence of mistuning and cracks is shown to have important effects. Also, the proposed approach is shown to provide accurate predictions for the overall blisk while requiring computations using single-sector models only. The influence of various parameters on the accuracy of the reduced order models is investigated. Overall, the results show a very good agreement between full finite element analyses and the proposed reduced order modeling approach.
