AbstractThe design of aircraft engines involves computationally expensive engineering simulations. One way to solve this problem is the use of response surface models to approximate the high-fidelity time-consuming simulations while reducing computational time. For a robust design, sensitivity analysis based on these models allows for the efficient study of uncertain variables’ effect on system performance. The aim of this study is to support sensitivity analysis for a robust design in aerospace engineering. For this, an approach is presented in which random forests (RF) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) are explored to handle linear and non-linear response types for response surface modelling. Quantitative experiments are conducted to evaluate the predictive performance of these methods with Turbine Rear Structure (a component of aircraft) case study datasets for response surface modelling. Furthermore, to test these models’ applicability to perform sensitivity analysis, experiments are conducted using mathematical test problems (linear and non-linear functions) and their results are presented. From the experimental investigations, it appears that RF fits better on non-linear functions compared with MARS, whereas MARS fits well on linear functions.

Heavy duty gas turbine front stages compressor blades aero-elastic behavior is deeply analyzed and investigated by means of an uncoupled, non-linear and time-accurate CFD URANS solver. The travelling-wave approach and the energy method have been applied in order to assess the aerodynamic damping (in terms of logarithmic decrement) for each inter blade phase angle (IBPA) and thus to localize the flutter stability region. The work is mainly focused on a sensitivity analysis with respect to blade operating conditions, eigen-mode shapes and frequency in order to improve the understanding of flutter mechanism and to identify the key parameters. Transonic, supercritical and subsonic blades are investigated at different operating conditions with their corresponding eigenmode and eigen-frequency (first and second flexural mode and first torsional). The results show that non-linear effects can be neglected for subsonic blades. Besides, the modal-shape and the shock structure, if any, are identified to play a key role for flutter stability.
