Rotationally Periodic Structure

A rotationally periodic structure consists of a finite number of identical substructures forming a closed ring. The vibrational behavior of such structures is considered, especially the forced response due to a rotating force. It is known that for a rotationally symmetric structure, excited by a rotating force, resonance for the n nodal diameters mode is obtained when the corresponding natural frequency is ωn = nΩ, where Ω is the angular velocity of the force. This resonance condition also holds for a rotationally periodic structure. But then additional resonance possibilities exist, given by ωn = (kN ± n)Ω, where N is the number of substructures and k = 0, 1, 2,… These resonance conditions give a zigzag line in the nodal diameters versus frequency diagram, which here is introduced as the ZZENF diagram. The deformation patterns at the resonances are both forward and backward traveling waves.

Response Variation

Cyclically periodic structures, such as bladed disk assemblies in turbomachinery, are widely used in engineering systems. It is well known that small uncertainties exist among their substructures, which in certain situations may cause drastic change in the dynamic responses, a phenomenon known as vibration localization. Previous studies have suggested that the introduction of small, prespecified design modification, i.e., intentional mistuning, may alleviate vibration localization and reduce response variation. However, there has been no systematic methodology to facilitate the optimal design of intentional mistuning. The most significant challenge is the computational cost involved. The finite-element model of a bladed disk usually requires a very large number of degrees-of-freedom (DOFs). When uncertainties occur in a cyclically periodic structure, the response may no longer be considered as simple perturbation to that of the nominal structure. In this research, a suite of interrelated algorithms is proposed to enable the efficient design optimization of cyclically periodic structures toward alleviating their forced response variation. We first integrate model order reduction with a perturbation scheme to reduce the scale of analysis of a single run. Then, as the core of the new methodology, we incorporate Gaussian process (GP) emulation to conduct the rapid sampling-based evaluation of the design objective, which is a metric of response variation under uncertainties, in the parametric space. The optimal design modification can thus be directly identified to minimize the response variation. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methodology are demonstrated by systematic case studies.

Rotationally Periodic Structure

This paper considers the RL shunt damping of rotationally periodic structures with an array of regularly spaced piezoelectric patches. The technique is targeted to the damping of a specific mode withnnodal diameters. For this particular case, one can take advantage of the shape of the targeted mode to organize the piezoelectric patches as a modal filter (in parallel loops) which reduces the demand on the inductors of the tuned inductive shunt. In the case of a perfectly rotationally periodic structure, it is possible to organize 4npiezoelectric transducers (PZT patches) in two parallel loops of 2npatches each. In this way, the demand on the inductors is reduced by4n2as compared to independent loops, which may allow a fully passive integration of the RL shunt in a turbomachinery application. The method is first illustrated experimentally on a circular plate; it is then applied to a prototype of an industrial bladed drum. The influence of blade mistuning is investigated.

Extensive investigations have been conducted to study the vibration localization phenomenon and the excessive forced response that can be caused by mistuning in bladed disks. Most previous researches have focused on analyzing∕predicting localization or attacking the mistuning issue via mechanical tailoring. Few have focused on developing effective vibration control methods for such systems. This study extends the piezoelectric network concept, which has been utilized for mode delocalization in periodic structures, to the control of mistuned bladed disks under engine order excitation. A piezoelectric network is synthesized and optimized to effectively suppress vibration in bladed disks. One of the merits of such an approach is that the optimum design is independent of the number of spatial harmonics, or engine orders. Local circuits are first formulated by connecting inductors and resistors with piezoelectric patches on the individual blades. Although these local circuits can function as conventional damped absorber when properly tuned, they do not perform well for bladed disks under all engine order excitations. To address this issue, capacitors are introduced to couple the individual local circuitries. Through such networking, an absorber system that is independent of the engine order can be achieved. Monte Carlo simulation is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the network for a bladed disk with a range of mistuning level of its mechanical properties. The robustness issue of the network in terms of detuning of the electric circuit parameters is also studied. Finally, negative capacitance is introduced and its effect on the performance and robustness of the network is investigated.

Abstract This paper aims to study the effect of varying the working line of a compressor onto the forced response vibrations of the blades of an integrally bladed disk (blisk). The investigated rotor belongs to a transonic research compressor, where various probes are placed to measure flow data at all stations and analyze blade vibrations. A single-passage CFD model of all compressor blade-rows is used for steady computations. Using a finite element model, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the blisk across the operational range of the compressor are predicted. Thus, resonance conditions can be identified from the Campbell diagram. The variation of the compressor working line is investigated at 90% of the maximum shaft speed, where the resonance condition of the 11th blade mode family and the engine order corresponding to the aerodynamic distortion from the upstream stator vane is predicted. Using a single-passage model, time-accurate simulations of the investigated rotor are executed at various operating points, which cover the operational range of the compressor between choke and stall conditions. Aerodynamic damping ratios are calculated using the aerodynamic influence coefficients method at each point, in order to predict the resulting vibration amplitudes of the blades. Relatively high amplitudes of the modal aerodynamic forces are observed at the low working line. A detailed post-processing analysis is performed, as the change of flow incidence contributes largely in the increase of modal aerodynamic forces on the blade. The aerodynamic damping ratios increase with higher working lines, where the rotor achieves relatively higher pressure ratios. However, the damping decreases rapidly close to stall conditions. The trend of the predicted vibration amplitudes is compared to strain gauge measurements from the rig, which are registered during multiple acceleration maneuvers performed over different working lines. A strong correlation between the predicted and measured trends of the forced response vibration is witnessed.

Sonic Crystals

Sonic crystals are periodic structures made of sound hard scatterers which attenuate sound in a range of frequencies. For an infinite periodic structure, this range of frequencies is known as band gap, and is determined by the geometric arrangement of the scatterers. In this paper, a parametric study on rectangular sonic crystal is presented. It is found that geometric spacing between the scatterers in the direction of sound propagation affects the center frequency of the band gap. Reducing the geometric spacing between the scatterers in the direction perpendicular to the sound propagation helps in better sound attenuation. Such rectangular arrangement of scatterers gives better sound attenuation than the regular square arrangement of scatterers. The model for parametric study is also supported by some experimental results.

AbstractIntegrally bladed rotors (IBRs) are meant to be rotationally periodic structures. However, unique variations in geometries and material properties from sector-to-sector, called mistuning, destroy the structural periodicity. This results in mode localization that can induce forced response levels greater than what is predicted with a tuned analysis. Furthermore, mistuning and mode localization are random processes that require stochastic treatments when analyzing the distribution of fleet responses. Generating this distribution can be computationally intensive when using the full finite element model (FEM). To overcome this expense, reduced-order models (ROMs) have been developed to accommodate fast calculations of mistuned forced response levels for a fleet of random IBRs. Usually, ROMs can be classified by two main families: frequency-based and geometry-based methods. Frequency-based ROMs assume mode shapes do not change due to mistuning. However, this assumption has been shown to cause errors that propagate to the fleet distribution. To circumvent these errors, geometry-based ROMs have been developed to provide accurate predictions. However, these methods require recalculating modal data during ROM formulations. This increases the computational expense in computing fleet distributions. A new geometry-based ROM is presented to reduce this cost. The developed ROM utilizes a Bayesian surrogate model in place of sector modal calculations required in ROM formulations. The method, surrogate modal analysis for geometry mistuning assessments (SMAGMA), will propagate uncertainties of the surrogate prediction to forced response. ROM accuracies are compared to the true forced response levels and results computed by a frequency-based ROM.

Abstract We explore the vibration attenuation of a periodic structure when one absorber with nonlinear cubic stiffness is included without increasing the total mass. Metastructures, and specifically periodic structures, present interesting characteristics for vibration attenuation that are not found in classical structures. These characteristics have been explored for automotive and aerospace applications, among others, as structures with low mass are paramount for these industries, and keeping low vibration levels in wide frequency range is also desirable. It has been shown that the addition of vibration absorbers in a periodic arrangement can provide vibration attenuation for shock input without increasing the total mass of a structure. In this work, the dynamical response of a metastructure with one nonlinear vibration absorber, with same mass as original structure, optimized for vibration attenuation under harmonic input is compared with a base metastructure without absorbers and a metastructure with linear absorbers via the evaluation of the H2 norm of the frequency response. A simplified approach is used to compare linear and nonlinear stiffness based on deformation energy, by considering linear and nonlinear restoring forces to be equal at mean deformation. The dynamical response of the optimal system is obtained numerically, and an optimization procedure based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is proposed to find the optimal position and stiffness coefficients of only one nonlinear absorber, showing that it results in lower level of vibrations than original structure and than structure with linear absorbers, while almost the same level as a structure with all nonlinear absorbers.

High Cycle Fatigue caused by high vibration levels continues to be a major concern in gas turbine design. The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics methods is becoming more commonplace for calculating the vibration amplitude of turbomachinery blades during the design process. A typical calculation approach would be to calculate the unsteady aerodynamic loads at the resonance condition for each vibration mode of interest. In this paper it is proposed that, for a choked high pressure (HP) turbine, an unsteady flow prediction can be scaled across a wide engine operating range using a few simple parameters. There is a fixed relationship between the turbine inlet pressure and the HP shaft speed (when expressed non-dimensionally) which can be used to scale the flow conditions. The effects of altitude variation in the ratio of shaft speeds, compressor bleed flows and schedule of the variable vanes are secondary, having only a small influence on the behaviour. This paper demonstrates that the steady flow distribution around both stator and rotor is virtually constant across the speed range of the engine and the rotor unsteady surface pressure distribution shows only small differences. Further, the parameter which is of prime interest for vibration assessment, the modal force, can be scaled very well using turbine inlet pressure. For modes of vibration with high amplitudes the errors introduced by scaling are of the order of 6% which is considered acceptable for design predictions.

Diatoms are single-celled algae that make silica shells called frustules that possess periodic structures ordered at the micro- and nanoscale. Nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2) was deposited onto the frustule biosilica of the diatom Pinnularia sp. Poly-l-lysine (PLL) conformally adsorbed onto surface of the frustule biosilica. The condensation of soluble Ti-BALDH to TiO2 by PLL-adsorbed diatom biosilica deposited 1.32 ± 0.17 g TiO2/g SiO2 onto the frustule. The periodic pore array of the diatom frustule served as a template for the deposition of the TiO2 nanoparticles, which completely filled the 200-nm frustule pores and also coated the frustule outer surface. Thermal annealing at 680 °C converted the as-deposited TiO2 to its anatase form with an average nanocrystal size of 19 nm, as verified by x-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and SEM/TEM. This is the first reported study of directing the peptide-mediated deposition of TiO2 into a hierarchical nanostructure using a biologically fabricated template.
