Interblade contacts and damping evaluation of the turbine bladed wheel with prestressed dry friction contacts are solved by the 3D finite element method with the surface-to-surface dry friction contact model. This makes it possible to model the space relative motions of contact pairs that occur during blade vibrations. To experimentally validate the model, a physical model of the bladed wheel with tie-boss couplings was built and tested. HPC computation with a proposed strategy was used to lower the computational time of the nonlinear solution of the wheel resonant attenuation used for damping estimation. Comparison of experimental and numerical results of damping estimation yields a very good agreement.

Abstract The experimental set-up for studying dynamical behaviour of the bladed wheel with pre-stressed dry-friction contacts in tie-bosses was built. The numerical solution of the turbine bladed wheel with tie-bosses based on 3D finite element method with surface to surface dry friction contact model is proposed. Comparison of experimental and numerical results of dynamical behaviour and damping estimation of our bladed wheel design yielded a reasonable agreement. Due to dry friction contacts and non-linear solution of 3D FE model it, however, leads to HPC computations and long computation times. The contribution deals with description of proposed computational strategy for damping evaluation and achieved results, too.

Friction dampers are installed underneath the blade platforms to improve the reliability. Because of centrifugal forces the dampers are pressed onto the platforms. Due to dry friction and the relative motion between blades and dampers, energy is dissipated, which results in a reduction of blade vibration amplitudes. The geometry of the contact is in many cases like a Hertzian line contact. A three-dimensional motion of the blades results in a two-dimensional motion of one contact line of the friction dampers in the contact plane. An experiment with one friction damper between two blades is used to verify the two-dimensional contact model including microslip. By optimizing the friction dampers masses, the best damping effects are obtained. Finally, different methods are shown to calculate the envelope of a three-dimensional response of a detuned bladed disk assembly (V84.3-4th-stage turbine blade) with friction dampers.

This paper focuses on the vibration characteristics of the bladed-disk subjected to the dry friction damping under periodic excitation. Firstly, the multi-harmonic equation basing on the frequency-domain analysis is established to predicate the steady response of the bladed-disk. Then, the algorithm to solve the nonlinear multi-harmonic balance equation is given step by step. In the numerical simulation, a simplified lumped parameter model of a turbine bladed-disk as well as the elastic Coulomb friction model between the root and disk contacting surfaces are applied. The normal load level of the friction interfaces, which are the focal points of the bladed-disk design, is analysed for the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the blades. The results show that vibration response of bladed-disk is affected significantly by normal load, and there exists an optimal value of the normal load under the operating condition of the turbomachinery, which can provide a qualitative assessment for the design practice of friction dampers.

In order to control the risk of high cycle fatigue of bladed disks, it is important to predict precisely the vibration levels and to design damping solutions to attenuate them. Therefore, Snecma has made some efforts in the last years in order to characterize better the damping in aero-engines. Among the various damping sources, friction damping is particularly difficult to model due to its non-linear behaviour [1]. For that purpose, two methods based on multi-harmonic balance strategy have been especially developed for Snecma, dedicated to the study of the non-linear forced response of bladed disks. The first one enables to model the bladed disk equipped with dry-friction dampers [2], and the second one takes into account intrinsic friction located in disk-blade interface [3]. To validate both models experimentally, a test campaign has been carried out in a vacuum chamber on a rotating bladed disk excited by piezoelectric actuators. The blade shanks have been softened in order to increase friction effects. Experimental results show a regular and reproducible behaviour of the non-linear forced response, over various rotation speed and excitation levels. The contributions of friction dampers and friction in blade attachment have been decoupled thanks to glue applied in the blade root. Both friction phenomena that were observed experimentally at resonance of the blade first bending mode have been reproduced numerically. After updating modeling parameters, an acceptable correlation was found on resonance frequencies, amplitudes and damping levels over the full experimental setup range, which validates these numerical tools for their use in design process.

The Impact

This paper deals with the dynamics of a cyclic system, representative of a bladed disk subjected to dry friction forces, and exhibits structural mistuning. The nonlinear complex modes are computed by solving the eigenproblem associated to the free response of the whole structure and are then used to better understand the forced response to a traveling wave excitation. Similarly to the underlying linear system, the tuned model possesses pairs of modes that can be linearly combined to form traveling waves, unlike those of the mistuned structure. However, due to the nonlinearity, the modal properties are not constant but vary with the vibration amplitude in both cases. A qualitative analysis is also performed to assess the impact of the mistuning magnitude on the response and suggests that further statistical investigations could be of great interest for the design of bladed-disks, in terms of vibration mitigation and robustness.

The Impact

This paper deals with the real dynamics characteristics of a mistuned steam turbine bladed disk subjected to dry friction forces to better understand the nonlinear mistuning phenomenon. Normal load, which directly affects contact stiffness between interfaces, is chosen as the mistuning parameter. Based on Mindlin model, a forced response analysis of the finite element model of mistuned bladed disk with damped shrouds is performed in ANSYS. Compared with results of other simplified models, a real and complicated nonlinear behavior are observed here. A mass of qualitative analysis is also performed to assess the impact of the mistuning magnitude and excitation level on the vibration. The result shows that, vibration response of bladed disk is affected by excitation and mistuning level significantly. Local amplification coefficient of vibration response in the cases of different mistuning levels is obtained by introducing 10 random mistuned patterns. In addition, frequency splitting phenomena even appears at one of the blades by the contribution of high mistuning levels. According to the calculated results for different excitation levels, the curve of modal damping varying with response amplitude is gained. Lastly, rigidity mistuning is introduced and a combined analysis is performed to investigate the influence of friction damping mistuning on rigidity mistuning in the same 10 random mistuning patterns. The arrangement of dry friction damping mistuning also could be controlled to reduce the local vibration amplification originating from structure mistuning. However, further statistical investigations should be made to gain more information. (CSPE)

Cracks are common failures of aeroengine rotated blades. Online monitoring of rotated blades through their vibration to identify cracks early in various working conditions is significant for operational safety. Breathing crack is a practical form of early cracks and results in nonlinear vibration response. Tenon connection and shroud contact are common structures in aeroengine rotated blades, which can also lead blades to vibrate nonlinearly and seriously interfere online identification of early cracks. Thus, it is important to extract vibration features due to breathing crack considering these two structures. Firstly, a blade with tenon and shroud is simplified and a lumped parameter model of the bladed disk is built. Then, dry friction and coupling force on a blade are analyzed and dynamics equations of the lumped parameter model are established. Next, the stiffness of the blade trunk with a breathing crack is analyzed. Finally, the vibration response of blade trunks with the occurrence of breathing crack is analyzed in time and frequency domains by numerical simulation. Effective features due to breathing crack for online identification are extracted. 2x components of spectrums can be the criterion to judge whether breathing crack occurs. Besides, by comparing the changes in vibration amplitudes with 1x component peaks of spectrums, the cracked blade trunk can be distinguished. These findings can provide important theoretical guidance for online identification of early cracks in aeroengine rotated blades.
