Abstract Steam turbine blade is a very complex structure. It has geometric complexities like variation of twist, taper, width and thickness along its length. Most of the time these variations are not uniform. Apart from these geometric complexities, the blades are coupled by means of lacing wire, lacing rod or shroud. Blades are attached to a flexible disc which contributes to the dynamic behavior of the blade. Root fixity also plays an important role in this behavior. There is a considerable variation in the frequencies of blades of newly assembled turbine and frequencies after some hours of running. Again because of manufacturing tolerances there can be some variation in the blade to blade frequencies. Determination of natural frequencies of the blade is therefore a very critical job. Problems associated with typical industrial turbine bladed discs of a 235 MW steam turbine are highlighted in this paper.

Abstract This paper deals with the effect of the material types (Graphite-Epoxies and Kevlar-Epoxy) on the fundamental frequencies of uniaxial constant-pitch composite conical helical springs with solid circle section and fixed-fixed ends. The transfer matrix method is used for the determination of the fundamental natural frequencies. The rotary inertia, the shear and axial deformation effects are taken into account in the solution. The free vibrational charts for each material presented in this study cover the following vibrational parameters: n (number of active turns) = 5–10, α = (helix pitch angle) = 5° and 25°, R2/R1, (minimum to maximum radii of the cylinder) = 0.1 and 0.9, and Dmax/d (maximum cylinder to wire diameters) = 5 and 15. These charts can be used for the design of uniaxial composite conical springs.

A new method has been developed for sensitivity calculations of modal characteristics of bladed disks made of anisotropic materials. The method allows the determination of the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of mistuned bladed disks with respect to anisotropy angles that define the crystal orientation of the monocrystalline blades using full-scale finite element models. An enhanced method is proposed to provide high accuracy for the sensitivity analysis of mode shapes. An approach has also been developed for transforming the modal sensitivities to coordinate systems used in industry for description of the blade anisotropy orientations. The capabilities of the developed methods are demonstrated on examples of a single blade and a mistuned realistic bladed disk finite element models. The modal sensitivity of mistuned bladed disks to anisotropic material orientation is thoroughly studied.

Abstract The first n natural frequencies and mode shapes of an N degree of freedom structure (n < N) are derived from the solution of a reduced eigenvalue problem of order smaller than N. The reduced eigenvalue problem is formulated by using experience to select approximations to the first n modes desired. Accuracy is improved when more than n modes are selected. The method is illustrated by a study on an 18 story building.
