The effect of mistuning on the vibration of bladed disks has been extensively studied in the past 30 years. Most of these analysis typically cover the case of small variations of the elastic characteristics (mass and stiffness) of the blades. In this work we study the not so common case of the forced response of a stable rotor with damping mistuning. The Asymptotic Mistuning Model (AMM) is used to analyze this problem. The AMM methodology provides a simplified model that describes the effect of blade to blade damping variation, and gives precise information on the underlying mechanisms involved in the action of damping mistuning.

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.

Amplitude Level

A harmonic mistuning concept for bladed disks is analyzed in order to intentionally reduce the forced response of specific modes below their tuned amplitude level. By splitting a mode pair associated with a specific nodal diameter pattern, the lightly damped traveling wave mode of the nominally tuned blisk is superposed with its counter-rotating complement. Consequently, a standing wave is formed in which the former wave train benefits from an increase in aerodynamic damping. Unlike previous analyses of randomly perturbed configurations, the mode-specific stabilization is intentionally promoted through adjusting the harmonic content of the mistuning pattern. Through a re-orientation of the localized mode shapes in relation to the discrete blades, the response is additionally attenuated by an amount of up to 7.6 %. The achievable level of amplitude reduction is analytically predicted based on the properties of the tuned system. Furthermore, the required degree of mistuning for a sufficient separation of a mode pair is derived.

<p class="p1">The role of external (radiative) forcing factors and internal unforced (ocean) low-frequency variations in the instrumental global temperature record are still hotly debated. More recent findings point towards a larger contribution from changes in external forcing, but the jury is still out. While the estimation of the human-induced total global warming fraction since pre-industrial times is fairly robust and mostly independent of multidecadal internal variability, this is not necessarily the case for key regional features such as Arctic amplification or enhanced warming over continental land areas. Accounting for the slow global temperature adjustment after strong volcanic eruptions, the spatially heterogeneous nature of anthropogenic aerosol forcing and known biases in the sea surface temperature record, almost all of the multidecadal fluctuations observed over at least the last 160+ years can be explained without a relevant role for internal variability. Using a two-box response model framework, I will demonstrate that not only multidecadal variability is very likely a forced response, but warming trends over the past 40+ years are entirely attributable to human factors. Repercussions for amplifed European (or D-A-CH for that matter) warming and associated implications for extreme weather events are discussed. Further consideration is given to the communications aspect of such critical results as well as the question of wider societal impacts.</p>

Abstract Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and mortality. Troublingly, hypertension is highly prevalent in patients with autoimmune renal disease and hastens renal functional decline. Although progress has been made over the past two decades in understanding the inflammatory contributions to essential hypertension more broadly, the mechanisms active in autoimmune-mediated renal diseases remain grossly understudied. This Review provides an overview of the pathogenesis of each of the major autoimmune diseases affecting the kidney that are associated with hypertension, and describes the current state of knowledge regarding hypertension in these diseases and their management. Specifically, discussion focuses on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Lupus Nephritis (LN), Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Nephropathy, Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy (IMN), Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis, and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). A summary of disease-specific animal models found to exhibit hypertension is also included to highlight opportunities for much needed further investigation of underlying mechanisms and novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract One of the major sources of the damping of the forced vibration for bladed disk structures is the micro-slip motion at the contact interfaces of blade-disk joints. In this paper, the modeling strategies of nonlinear contact interactions at blade roots are examined using high-fidelity modelling of bladed disk assemblies and the nonlinear contact interactions at blade-disk contact patches. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain using multiharmonic harmonic balance method and analytically formulated node-to-node contact elements modelling frictional and gap nonlinear interactions. The effect of the number, location and distribution of nonlinear contact elements are analyzed using cyclically symmetric bladed disks. The possibility of using the number of the contact elements noticeably smaller than the total number of nodes in the finite element mesh created at the contact interface for the high-fidelity bladed disk model is demonstrated. The parameters for the modeling of the root damping are analysed for tuned and mistuned bladed disks. The geometric shapes of blade roots and corresponding slots in disks cannot be manufactured perfectly and there is inevitable root joint geometry variability within the manufacturing tolerances. Based on these tolerances, the extreme cases of the geometry variation are defined and the assessment of the possible effects of the root geometry variation on the nonlinear forced response are performed based on a set of these extreme cases.

Forced Responses

The forced responses of bladed disks are highly sensitive to inevitable random mistuning. Considerable computational efforts are required for the sampling process to assess the statistical vibration properties of mistuned bladed disks. Therefore, efficient surrogate models are preferred to accelerate the process for probabilistic analysis. In this paper, four surrogate models are utilized to construct the relation between random mistuning and forced response amplitudes, which are polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), response surface method (RSM), artificial neural networks (ANN) and Kriging interpolation, respectively. A bladed disk with 2-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) each sector is used to validate the effectiveness of the surrogate models. The effects of number of training samples on the surrogate model accuracy are discussed. The responses results of one blade (single output) and maximum response of all blades (multi-output) indicate that PCE and Kriging interpolation could yield accurate and stable predictions of the statistical characteristics of the forced responses. PCE is recommended for the mistuned response predictions due to its accuracy and efficiency.
