Abstract Cyclic structures such as turbomachinery present material and geometrical variations between sectors. These discrepancies are called mistuning and break the cyclic symmetry of the structure. Computing the forced response of mistuned cyclic structures is thus a numerical challenge. The Component Nonlinear Complex Mode Synthesis (CNCMS) is one of the few nonlinear reduced-order model formulations that allow to compute the nonlinear response of tuned and mistuned structures. It has been validated successfully for friction problems. However, in the presence of geometric nonlinearities, internal resonances may arise and they cannot be captured correctly with the CNCMS method. The purpose of this work is therefore to present a new methodology for developing a nonlinear reduced-order model that can successfully capture internal resonances for tuned and mistuned structures. This method, called Component Mode Synthesis with Nonlinear Re-evaluation (CMSNR), is based on a variation of the CNCMS approach. The final modal synthesis uses a multi-harmonic procedure and a re-evaluation of the nonlinear forces on each sector independently. The performance and limitations of the proposed approach are assessed using a simplified example of a blisk subject to polynomial nonlinearities. Different internal resonances are exhibited and studied depending on the type of excitation force and on the level of mistuning.

The nonlinear response of an electrostatically actuated cantilever beam microresonator sensor for mass detection is investigated. The excitation is near the natural frequency. A first order fringe correction of the electrostatic force, viscous damping, and Casimir effect are included in the model. The dynamics of the resonator is investigated using the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method, based on Galerkin procedure. Steady-state motions are found. Numerical results for uniform microresonators with mass deposition and without are reported.

The nonlinear response of an electrostatically actuated cantilever beam microresonator is investigated. The AC voltage is of frequency near resonator’s natural frequency. A first order fringe correction of the electrostatic force and viscous damping are included in the model. The dynamics of the resonator is investigated using the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method, based on Galerkin procedure. Steady-state motions are found. Numerical results for the uniform microresonator are compared with those obtained via the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS).

The results from a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning are compared with those from recently developed modified modal domain analysis (MMDA). For the academic bladed rotor considered in this paper, the frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response.

In this study we consider a slacked CNT and analyze the nonlinear response under electrostatic and electrodynamic actuation. We introduce a reduced-order model, which takes into account the single-mode dynamics and is derived via the Ritz method and the Padé approximation. The overall scenario of the device behavior is investigated when both the frequency and the electrodynamic voltage are varying. Extensive numerical simulations are performed by the combined use of frequency response diagrams, attractor-basins phase portraits, and frequency-dynamic voltage behavior chart. Our aim is that of illustrating the richness of the nonlinear events that may undergo in the device due to the coupling of mechanical and electrical nonlinearities. We observe that the CNT exhibits coexisting competing attractors, which lead to a versatile behavior. We examine the multistability in detail. The response is explored not only at low electrodynamic voltages, where the safe jump between attractors is ensured, but also at large electrodynamic excitation, where the inevitable escape (dynamic pull-in) becomes impending. We detect the theoretical boundaries of appearance and disappearance of the main attractors, which provide a complete description of the response.

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.

A damping strategy for integrally bladed disks (blisks) is discussed in this paper; this involves the use of friction rings located underside the wheel of bladed disks. The forced response of the blisk with friction rings is derived in the frequency domain using a frequency domain approach known as Dynamic Lagrangian Frequency-Time method. The blisk is modeled using a reduced-order model and the rings are modeled using beam elements. The results of some numerical simulations and parametric studies are presented. The range of application of this damping device is discussed. Parametric studies are presented and allow to understand the dissipation phenomena. Finally some design and optimization guidelines are given.

This paper investigates the effect of manufacturing variations on the blade-alone forced response of a transonic low aspect ratio fan. A simulated set of coordinate measurement machine measurements from a single rotor, representative of actual manufacturing variations, are used to investigate geometric effects. A reduced order model is developed to rapidly solve for the forced response and is based on eigensensitivity analysis and dynamic response mode superposition. An approximation error analysis is conducted to quantify accuracy of the new tool and errors between approximate and full finite element analysis solutions are shown to be small for low order modes with some high order modes having moderate error. A study of the simulated measured blade results show a significant amount of forced response variation along the leading edge of the airfoil. Statistics from this simulated measured rotor are used with Monte Carlo sampling to generate random blades realizations that are solved with the reduced order model. This procedure allows the prediction of the variation across an entire fleet of blades from a small sample of blades. The large variations predicted, up to 40%, could have a significant impact of the blade design process including the procedures to account for foreign object damage damage tolerance, how non-intrusive stress measurement systems are used, and how mistuning prediction algorithms are validated.

A method for predicting the vibratory response of bladed disks under high engine acceleration rates is developed. The method is based on the Fundamental Mistuning Model, an existing reduced order model for predicting the steady-state vibratory response. In addition, a criterion is developed for a critical engine acceleration rate, above which transient effects play a large role in the response. It is shown that military engines operate at acceleration rates above this critical value and therefore transient effects are important in practice.

This paper is focused on the optimization of mistuned blades assembling rearrangement under the forced response. First, in order to avoid the greatly increase of the calculation greatly by the whole circle bladed-disk finite element model, a reduced-order model is developed based on the component mode synthesis. CPU+GPU heterogeneous architecture parallel computation is used to accelerate modal analysis of the disk and blade sectors substructures. Second, a modified ant colony algorithm is applied to the combinatorial optimization to find the optimal rearrangement pattern of bladed-disk assembly. Different from classical algorithm, the individual mistuned information is used to construct heuristic function based on intentional mistuning pattern, which can avoid slow convergence of ant colony algorithm and increase the search speed efficiently. At last, a high-fidelity 3D FEM model with 43 mistuned blades is used to demonstrate the capabilities of the techniques in reducing the maximum displacement resonance response of the bladed-disk system. The numerical simulation showed that this program based on the reduced-order model proposed in this article gained 4.3 speedup compared with ANSYS full model under the scale of 500k nodes. The displacement response amplitude of the blades decreased by 32% with 60 steps (1200 times FEM calculation) by the new optimization method. The physical mechanism of reducing the bladed-disk response is explained by comparing the optimized and worst arrangement patterns. The results clearly demonstrate that the optimized rearrangement pattern of mistuned blades is able to reduce the response amplitude of the forced vibration significantly, and the algorithm proposed in this article is practical and effective.
