Abstract Typical turbofan engine-support-structure systems having a high thrust-to-weight ratio are light, and the structure primarily comprises a plate and shells. The local vibration response of the support structure is excessively large when different frequency loads are applied. A structural vibration response control method based on dry friction damping is proposed to control the excessive vibration response. A dry friction damper with dynamic suction was designed to enhance the damping characteristics of the rotor supporting structure system in the wide frequency domain, without sacrificing the dynamic stiffness of the structure. The system is designed to effectively control the vibration response of the supporting structure at the working-speed frequency. Through theoretical modeling and simulation analyses, the influence of friction contact and damper structure characteristics on the damping effect is described quantitatively. Furthermore, the design idea and the damping process of the supporting structure are described. The calculation results show that the contact friction of the dry friction damper can consume the vibration energy of the supporting frame. A reasonable design of the contact characteristics and geometric configuration parameters of the damper can further optimize the vibration-reduction effect, and thereby improve the vibration response control design of the supporting structure system of aeroengines.

t is made the system vibration analysis complexity that the coupling between the fluid-filled pipes and its support structure. Based on the finite element method, the liquid-filled pipe and a supporting structure are firstly modeled respectively. The obtained two sub-system models are then combined using their common nodes displacement. Based on the combined system, the coupled vibration characteristics of the liquid-filled pipe and the supporting structure system are analyzed. The analysis results show that, the strong coupling vibration modes are existed in the support structure and liquid-filled pipe system. If we change the mass and stiffness of pipe, some orders of vibration performance will change obviously, especially for those controlled by the pipe. However, for the vibration decided by the support structure, it is uselessly to change the mass matrix or stiffness matrix of the pipe.

The vibration dissipation mechanism of the rotating blade with a dovetail joint is studied in this paper. Dry friction damping plays an indispensable role in the direction of vibration reduction. The vibration level is reduced by consuming the total energy of the turbine blade with the dry friction device on the blade-root in the paper. The mechanism of the vibration reduction is revealed by the variation of the friction force and the energy dissipation ratio of dry friction. In this paper, the flexible blade with a dovetail interface feature is discretized by using the spatial beam element based on the finite element theory. Then the classical Coulomb-spring friction model is introduced to obtain the dry friction model on the contact interfaces of the tenon-mortise structure. What is more, the effects of the system parameters (such as the rotating speed, the friction coefficient, the installation angle of the tenon) and the excitation level on blade damping characteristics are discussed, respectively. The results show that the variation of the system parameters leads to a significant change of damping characteristics of the blade. The variation of the tangential stiffness and the position of the external excitation will affect the nonlinear characteristics and vibration damping characteristics.

Friction dampers are installed underneath the blade platforms to improve the reliability. Because of centrifugal forces the dampers are pressed onto the platforms. Due to dry friction and the relative motion between blades and dampers, energy is dissipated, which results in a reduction of blade vibration amplitudes. The geometry of the contact is in many cases like a Hertzian line contact. A three-dimensional motion of the blades results in a two-dimensional motion of one contact line of the friction dampers in the contact plane. An experiment with one friction damper between two blades is used to verify the two-dimensional contact model including microslip. By optimizing the friction dampers masses, the best damping effects are obtained. Finally, different methods are shown to calculate the envelope of a three-dimensional response of a detuned bladed disk assembly (V84.3-4th-stage turbine blade) with friction dampers.

Abstract This paper proposes a flexible dry friction plate to mitigate the vibration of thin-walled structures for one resonance crossing. Based on a cantilever beam-friction damper finite element model, the geometry and material parameters of the friction plate are optimized numerically through steady-state response analyses by the widely-used Multi-Harmonic Balance Method (MHBM). In order to further improve the damping effect, piezoelectric material is distributed to the flexible damper, and two types of dry friction and piezoelectric hybrid dampers are explored, namely semi-active and passive, respectively. For semi-active hybrid dampers, piezoelectric material is used as an actuator to adjust the normal load applied to the friction interface in real time, so that the friction damping is improved. For passive ones, piezoelectric material is used as a transducer, which dissipates the strain energy stored in the wavy plate by the shunting circuit, additional shunted piezoelectric damping contributes to the total output damping accordingly. Better damping effect compared with the friction baseline is realized for the two types ideally. This damping module has a simple structure and avoids the problem of installation and maintenance of piezoelectric material which is generally bonded to the host structure. Technical challenges are: the semi-active type requires excessive voltage applied to the piezoelectric actuator, while the passive one needs to connect a programmable synthetic circuit.

Blades with a friction damper have been used in a steam turbine and a gas turbine to improve the blade reliability. In particular, for a gas turbine blade of the upstream stage, under-platform dampers have been widely used, where the damper pieces with various geometries are inserted into the platforms of the adjacent blades. The damper piece is designed so that its surface contacts the platform surface uniformly. However, the contact conditions of the damper piece (in other words, the equivalent stiffness and the damping caused by the damper piece) may change appreciably blade by blade because of the likes of manufacturing tolerance, blade deformation in operation, and wear of the damper piece. Therefore, it is essential to consider the mistuning effect caused by the variation of the contact condition of the damper piece in evaluating the vibration response of the bladed disk with the under-platform damper. In this study, a mistuned bladed disk with under-platform dampers is represented by the equivalent spring-mass model. Frequency response analysis and random response analysis are carried out using the direct method and Monte Carlo simulation. Carrying out an extensive parametric study, the effect of the variation of the contact condition caused by the damper piece on the vibration response of the bladed disk is clarified.

With the continuous increase of subway operating mileage, the problem of subway vibration has become more and more significant. Nowadays, the point-supported floating-slab track is recognized as the best method to control track vibration, which is mainly designed based on the mass-spring-damping theory. How to further improve the vibration control ability of the point-supported floating-slab track? In this paper, a new type of rubber point-supported floating slab track is designed based on the local resonance theory. Through calculation and dynamic test, it is obtained as follows: (1) The band gap of the point support structure by local resonance type depends on the two vertical vibration modes. (2) As the elastic modulus of the cladding layer increases, the bandwidth of the band gap of the corresponding structure increases significantly. (3) The increase of the vibrator density can increase the bandwidth, while reducing the start and stop frequencies, which is beneficial to attenuate the resonance of the floating-slab track. (4) The cushion material parameters of point support structure by local resonance type 2 will not affect the band gap. The increase in sleeve density will reduce the band gap, which is not conducive to vibration reduction. Local resonance type floating-slab track will be the development direction of track vibration-reduction measures in the future.
