Reduction Strategies

Shrouded bladed disks exhibit a nonlinear dynamic behavior due to the contact interfaces at shrouds between neighboring blades. As a result, reduced order models (ROMs) are mandatory to compute the response levels during the design phase for high cycle fatigue (HCF) life assessment. In this paper, two reduction strategies for shrouded bladed disk reduction are presented. Both approaches rely on: (i) the cyclic symmetry of the linear bladed disk with open shrouds to perform only single sector calculations, (ii) the Craig–Bampton (CB) method to reduce the number of physical degrees of freedom (dofs). The two approaches are applied to a set of test cases in order to evaluate and compare their accuracy and the associated computational effort. Although both approaches allow for generating accurate ROMs, it is found that the numerical efficiency of the two methods depends on the ratio of the number of nodes at the inter-sector interfaces over the number of inner nodes of the elementary sector model.

Exact Relationship

A new method for the dynamic analysis of mistuned bladed disks is presented. The method is based on exact calculation of the response of a mistuned system using response levels for the tuned assembly together with a modification matrix constructed from the frequency response function (FRF) matrix of the tuned system and a matrix describing the mistuning. The main advantages of the method are its efficiency and accuracy, which allow the use of large finite element models of practical bladed disk assemblies in parametric studies of mistuning effects on vibration amplitudes. A new method of calculating the FRF matrix of the tuned system using a sector model is also developed so as to improve the efficiency of the method even further, making the proposed method a very attractive tool for mistuning studies. Various numerical aspects of the proposed method are addressed and its accuracy and efficiency are demonstrated using representative test cases.

The analysis of the influence of cracks on the dynamics of bladed disks is critical for design, failure prognosis, and structural health monitoring. Predicting the dynamics of cracked bladed disks is computationally challenging for two reasons: (1) the model size is quite large and (2) the piecewise-linear nonlinearity caused by contact eliminates the use of linear analysis tools. Recently, a technique referred to as the X-Xr approach was developed to efficiently reduce the model size of the cracked bladed disks. The method employs relative coordinates to describe the motion of crack surfaces such that an effective model reduction can be achieved using single sector calculations. More recently, a method referred to as the generalized bilinear amplitude approximation (BAA) was developed to approximate the amplitude and frequency of piecewise-linear nonlinear systems. This paper modifies the generalized BAA method and combines it with the X-Xr approach to efficiently predict the dynamics of the cracked bladed disks. The combined method is able to construct the reduced-order model (ROM) of full disks using single-sector models only and estimate the amplitude and frequency with a significantly reduced computational effort. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) spring–mass system and a cracked bladed disk.

Reduced order models have been reported in the literature that can be used to predict the harmonic response of mistuned bladed disks. It has been shown that in many cases they exhibit structural fidelity comparable to a finite element analysis of the full bladed disk system while offering a significant improvement in computational efficiency. In these models the blades and disk are treated as distinct substructures. This paper presents a new, simpler approach for developing reduced order models in which the modes of the mistuned system are represented in terms of a sub-set of nominal system modes. It has the following attributes: the input requirements are relatively easy to generate; it accurately predicts mistuning effects in regions where frequency veering occurs; as the number of degrees of freedom increases it converges to the exact solution; it accurately predicts stresses as well as displacements; and it accurately models the deformation and stresses at the blades’ bases.

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.

In turbo machinery design it is important to avoid vibrations that can destroy the turbine in the last resort. The rotating structure is exposed to periodic excitation forces. Two main types of periodic excitation can be distinguished. Flutter is the effect when mass flow forces couple with a natural vibration mode. The result is a negative damping coefficient and amplitudes will rise up to malfunction of the structure. The engine order excitation is a periodic excitation where the force signal is directly related to the speed of the rotor. A forced response calculation gives information about the blade vibration. Nonlinear coupling, i.e. friction coupling, between blades is used to increase damping of the bladed disk. Dynamic analysis of turbine blades with nonlinear coupling is a complex task and computer simulations are inevitable. Various techniques have been developed to reduce computational effort. The cyclic symmetry approach assumes each blade around the disk to be identical. Thus only one sector of the disk is sufficient to compute the steady state solution of the whole turbine blading. However, it has been observed that mistuning of blades reduces the flutter instability. On the other hand statistical mistuning can lead to dangerously high forced response amplitudes due to mode localization. A compromise is intentional mistuning. The simplest approach is alternate mistuning with every other blade exhibiting identical mechanical properties. This work explains in detail how a turbine bladed disk can be modeled when alternate mistuning is applied intentionally. Cyclic symmetry is used and each sector comprises two blades. This untypical choice of the sector size has significant impact on results of a cyclic modal analysis. Simulation results show the influence of alternate mistuned turbine bladings which are coupled by underplatform damper elements.

A new reduction method for vibration analysis of intentionally mistuned bladed disks is presented. The method is built for solving the dynamic problem of cyclic structures with geometric modifications. It is based on the use of the cyclic modes of the different sectors, which can be obtained from a usual cyclic symmetry modal analysis. Hence the projection basis is constituted; as well as, on the whole bladed disk, each sector matrix is reduced by its own modes. The method is validated numerically on a real bladed disk model, by comparing free and forced responses of a full model finite element analysis to those of a reduced-order model using the new reduction method.

Finite element-based reduced order methods are presented with application to the prediction of rotating mistuned bladed disk forced response. These methods have already been applied to tuned non-rotating models having cyclic symmetry. The aim is to reduce significantly the number of interface co-ordinates, which can be very important in classical component mode synthesis methods. The approach is based on the use of the interface modes which result from a static condensation of the whole structure on the whole interface. A first implementation of this procedure and numerical results are presented.

Abstract Reduced order models (ROMs) are widely used to enable efficient simulation of mistuned bladed disks. ROMs based on projecting the system dynamics into a subspace spanned by the modes of the tuned structure work well for small amounts of mistuning. When presented with large mistuning, including changes of geometry and number of finite element mesh nodes, advanced methods such as the the pristine-rogue-interface modal expansion (PRIME) are necessary. PRIME builds a reduced model from two full cyclic symmetric analyses, one for the nominal and one for the modified type of sector. In this paper a new reduced order model suitable for large mistuning with arbitrary mesh modifications is presented. It achieves higher accuracy than PRIME, while saving approximately 25% computational effort during the reduction process, when using the same number of cyclic modes. The new method gains its efficiency by recognizing that large modifications from damage or repair are unlikely to be exactly the same for multiple blades. It works by building a partially reduced intermediate model: All nominal sectors are reduced using cyclic modes of the tuned structure. The single modified sector is kept as the full model. For this reason, the new reduction method is called Partially Reduced Intermediate System Model (PRISM) method. The accuracy of the PRISM method is demonstrated on an axial compressor blisk and an academic blisk geometry.

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.
