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.

Numerical Predictions

Abstract It is widely known that the vibration characteristics of blade integrated discs can dramatically change in the presence of manufacturing tolerances and wear. In this context, an increasing number of publications discuss the influence of the geometrical variability of blades on phenomena like frequency splitting and mode localization. This contribution is investigating the validity of a stiffness modified reduced order model for predicting the modal parameters of a geometrically mistuned compressor stage. In detail, the natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as the corresponding mistuning patterns, are experimentally determined for an exemplary rotor. Furthermore, a blue light fringe projector is used to identify the geometrical differences between the actual rotor and the nominal blisk design. With the help of these digitization results, a realistic finite element model of the whole compressor stage is generated. Beyond that, a reduced order model is implemented based on the nominal design intention. Finally, the numerical predictions of the geometrically updated finite element model and the stiffness modified reduced order model are compared to the vibration measurement results. The investigation is completed by pointing out the benefits and limitations of the SNM-approach in the context of geometrically induced mistuning effects.

The Impact

A number of previous works have suggested that in some cases the interaction between shaft and bladed disk modes could significantly modify the dynamics of the whole assembly i.e. the bladed disks mounted on a flexible shaft. This paper presents the application of a previously published reduced-order modeling technique to the dynamical modeling of a real two stage gas turbine, including the bladed disks and the shaft. In the resulting reduce order model, mistuning is included in the bladed disk models and the shaft is modeled using beam finite elements according to the classical rotordynamic approach. Generation of finite element parent model for the real turbine is presented and discussed as well as simplifications used in order to generate the reduced order model. Comparisons are made between the reduced model and the full finite element solution for free response frequencies and mode shapes in order to assess the methodology and to evaluate the impact of simplifying hypothesis considered in model generation. Finally, this work also shows interaction between shaft modes and bladed disk modes, therefore confirming that stage independent analysis might not be adequate for predicting the global dynamic response of some turbomachinery rotors.

The Finite Element Model

An algorithm to generate a reduced order model of a multistage rotor in which each stage has a different number of blades has been developed. It is shown that a reduced order model can be developed on the basis of tuned modes of certain bladed disks which can be easily obtained via sector analyses. Further, it is shown that the reduced order model can also be obtained when blades are geometrically mistuned. This algorithm is similar to the modified modal domain analysis, which has been recently developed for a single-stage bladed rotor with geometric mistuning. The validity of this algorithm is shown for the finite element model of a two-stage bladed rotor. In addition, the statistical distributions of peak maximum amplitudes and natural frequencies of a two-stage rotor are generated via Monte Carlo simulations for different patterns of geometric mistuning.

Reduced Order

Estimating accurately the natural frequencies of electrically actuated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been the center of research attention over the past few years. Despite this important topic, a robust knowledge is still missing to understand the role of various physical parameters that affect the natural frequencies, such as the stretching of doubly-clamped CNTs, the DC electrostatic force, and the curvature of CNTs with slacks. In this investigation, we use a 2D nonlinear curved beam model (arch) to simulate the coupled in-plane and the out-of-plane motions of a CNT with curvature (slack). We calculate the variation of its natural frequencies and mode-shapes with the level of slack and the DC electrostatic load. Toward this, we derive a reduced-order model using a multi-mode Galerkin procedure based on the mode shapes of the straight unactuated CNT. We calculate the natural frequencies of the slacked CNT for a given voltage by substituting the static solution into the Jacobian of the reduced-order-model and then finding the corresponding eigenvalues. We show various scenarios of mode crossing and mode veering as the levels of slack and DC load are varied.

Vision Sensing

In order to control the IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) actuators, it is necessary to use a vision sensing system and a reduced order model from the vision sensing data. In this study, the MROVS (Modal Reduced Order Vision Sensing) model using the least square method has been developed for implementation of the biomimetic motion generation. The simulated transverse displacement is approximated with a sum of the lower mode shapes of the cantilever beam. The NIPXI 1409 image acquisition board and CCD camera (XC-HR50) are used in the experimental setup. Present results show that the MROVS model can efficiently process the vision sensing of the biomimetic IPMC actuator with cost-effective computational time.

Random Mistuning

Intentional mistuning is a well known procedure to decrease the uncontrolled vibration amplification effects of the inherent random mistuning and to reduce the sensitivity to it. The idea is to introduce an intentional mistuning pattern that is small but much larger that the existing random mistuning. The frequency of adjacent blades is moved apart by the intentional mistuning, reducing the effect of the blade-to-blade coupling and thus the effect of the random mistuning. The situation considered in this work is more complicated because the main source for the blade damping is the effect of the aerodynamic forces (as it happens in a blisk for a family of blade dominated modes with very similar frequencies). In this case the damping is clearly defined for the tuned traveling waves but not for each blade. The problem is analyzed using the Asymptotic Mistuning Model methodology. A reduced order model is derived that allows us to understand the action mechanism of the intentional mistuning, and gives a simple expression for the estimation of its beneficial effect. The results from the reduced model are compared with those from a finite element model of a more realistic rotor under different forcing conditions.
