Unilateral Contacts

An approach is developed to analyze the multiharmonic forced response of large-scale finite element models of bladed disks taking account of the nonlinear forces acting at the contact interfaces of blade roots. Area contact interaction is modeled by area friction contact elements which allow for friction stresses under variable normal load, unilateral contacts, clearances, and interferences. Examples of application of the new approach to the analysis of root damping and forced response levels are given and numerical investigations of effects of contact conditions at root joints and excitation levels are explored for practical bladed disks.

Abstract An effective method is developed for the efficient calculation of the transient vibration response for mistuned bladed disks under complex excitation and varying rotation speeds. The method uses the large-scale finite element modelling of the bladed disks allowing the accurate description of the dynamic properties of the mistuned bladed disks. The realistic distributions of the excitation forces are considered, which resulted in the multiharmonic excitation loads. The transient response calculation is based on the analytically derived expressions for the transient forced response and the effective method used for the model reduction. The effects of the varying rotation speed on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the mistuned bladed disk and its effects on the amplitude and the spectral composition of the loading are allowed for. The different functions of the rotation speed variation can be analyzed. Numerical studies of the transient forced response and the amplitude amplification in mistuned bladed disks are performed when the resonance regimes are passed during gas-turbine engine acceleration or deceleration. The effects of different types of excitation force and mistuning on transient amplitude amplification are illustrated by a large number of the computational results and comparative analysis. These results and analysis of transient forced response are shown on an example of a realistic mistuned bladed disk.

An effective method for direct parametric analysis of periodic nonlinear forced response of bladed disks with friction contact interfaces has been developed. The method allows, forced response levels to be calculated directly as a function of contact interface parameters such as the friction coefficient, contact surface stiffness (normal and tangential coefficients), clearances, interferences, and the normal stresses at the contact interfaces. The method is based on exact expressions for sensitivities of the multiharmonic interaction forces with respect to variation of all parameters of the friction contact interfaces. These novel expressions are derived in the paper for a friction contact model, accounting for the normal load variation and the possibility of separation-contact transitions. Numerical analysis of effects of the contact parameters on forced response levels has been performed using large-scale finite element models of a practical bladed turbine disk with underplatform dampers and with shroud contacts.

Friction Dampers

A generic method for analysis of nonlinear forced response for bladed disks with friction dampers of different designs has been developed. The method uses explicit finite element modeling of dampers, which allows accurate description of flexibility and, for the first time, dynamic properties of dampers of different designs in multiharmonic analysis of bladed disks. Large-scale finite element damper and bladed disk models containing 104−106 degrees of freedom can be used. These models, together with detailed description of contact interactions over contact interface areas, allow for any level of refinement required for modeling of elastic damper bodies and for modeling of friction contact interactions. Numerical studies of realistic bladed disks have been performed with three different types of underplatform dampers: (i) a “cottage-roof” (also called “wedge”) damper, (ii) seal wire damper, and (iii) a strip damper. Effects of contact interface parameters and excitation levels on damping properties of the dampers and forced response are extensively explored.

Blade Flutter

Although bladed disks of turbomachinery are nominally designed to be cyclically symmetric (tuned system), the vibration characteristics of all blades on a disk are slightly different due to the manufacturing tolerance, the deviation of the material property, the wear during operation, and so on. These small variations break the cyclic symmetry, and split the eigenvalue pairs. The actual bladed disks with the small variations are referred to a mistuned system. In the forced response of a mistuned bladed disk, the responses of all blades become different, and the response of a certain blade may become extremely large due to the split of the duplicated eigenvalues, the distortion of the vibration modes, and so on. On the other hand, many researchers suggest that the mistuning suppresses the blade flutter, because the complete travelling wave mode is not formed in a disk. In other words, the main conclusions of researches on mistuning are that while mistuning has an undesirable effect on the forced response, it has a beneficial (stabilizing) effect on the blade flutter (the self-excited vibration). Although such mistuning phenomena of bladed disks have been studied since 1980s, almost all studies focused on the amplification factor of the displacement response, and few studies researched the amplification factor of the vibratory stress response. In this study, first, the frequency response analysis of the mistuned simple bladed disk consisting of flat plates is carried out. Comparing the amplification factor of the displacement response with that of the vibratory stress response, the amplification factor expressed by the vibratory stress is studied in detail. Second, the mistuning analysis of the actual bladed disk used in a steam turbine is carried out. From these results, the mistuning effect expressed by the vibratory stress is clarified.

Bladed Disk

A new method is developed for the forced response analysis of mistuned bladed disks manufactured from anisotropic materials and mistuned by different orientations of material anisotropy axes. The method uses (i) sector finite element (FE) models of anisotropic bladed disks and (ii) FE models of single blades and allows the calculation of displacements and stresses in a mistuned assembly. A high-fidelity reduction approach is proposed which ensures high-accuracy modeling by introducing an enhanced reduction basis. The reduction basis includes the modal properties of specially selected blades and bladed disks. The technique for the choice of the reduction basis has been developed, which provides the required accuracy while keeping the computation expense acceptable. An approach for effective modeling of anisotropy-mistuned bladed disk without a need to create a FE model for each mistuning pattern is developed. The approach is aimed at fast statistical analysis based on Monte Carlo simulations. All components of the methodology for anisotropy-mistuned bladed disks are demonstrated on the analysis of models of practical bladed disks. Effects of anisotropy mistuning on forced response levels are explored.

Abstract A new method has been developed for the analysis of nonlinear forced response of bladed disks mistuned by blade anisotropy scatter and for the forced response sensitivity to blade material anisotropy orientations. The approach allows for the calculation of bladed disks with nonlinear friction contact interfaces using the multi-harmonic balance method. The method uses efficient high-accuracy model reduction method for the minimization of the computational effort while providing required accuracy. The capabilities of the developed methods are validated and demonstrated using a two-blade model. A thorough study of the influence of the material anisotropy mistuning and its sensitivity on the characteristics of the forced response is carried out using finite element modes of anisotropy mistuned realistic bladed disk with nonlinear friction joints of blade roots and shroud contacts. The dependency of the nonlinear forced response on excitation level and contact pressure values has been carried out for anisotropy mistuned bladed disks.

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)

Function Matrix

A method has been developed for high-accuracy analysis of forced response levels for mistuned bladed disks vibrating in gas flow. Aerodynamic damping, the interaction of vibrating blades through gas flow, and the effects of structural and aerodynamic mistuning are included in the bladed disk model. The method is applicable to cases of high mechanical coupling of blade vibration through a flexible disk and, possibly shrouds, to cases with stiff disks and low mechanical coupling. The interaction of different families of bladed disk modes is included in the analysis providing the capability of analyzing bladed disks with pronounced frequency veering effects. The method allows the use of industrial-size sector models of bladed disks for analysis of forced response of a mistuned structure. The frequency response function matrix of a structurally mistuned bladed disk is derived with aerodynamic forces included. A new phenomenon of reducing bladed disk forced response by mistuning to levels that are several times lower than those of their tuned counterparts is revealed and explained.
