Abstract During fast gas-turbine engine acceleration and deceleration the transient vibration effects in bladed disk vibration become significant and the transient response has to be calculated. In this paper an effective method is developed for efficient calculations of the transient vibration response for mistuned bladed disks under varying rotation speeds. The method uses the large-scale finite element modelling of the bladed disks allowing the accurate description of the dynamic properties of the mistuned bladed disks. The effects of the varying rotation speed on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a mistuned bladed disk and its effects on the amplitude and the spectral composition of the loading are considered. The dependency of the modal characteristics on the rotation speed are based on the evaluation of these characteristics at reference points followed by the interpolation to obtain values at any rotation speed from the operating range. A new method has been developed for the interpolation of mode shapes while preserving the orthogonality and mass-normalization of the mode shapes. The method of mode shape interpolation is elaborated for tuned and mistuned bladed disks. The accuracy and efficiency of the method is demonstrated on test examples and on analysis of transient forced response of realistic bladed discs.

Abstract An effective method is developed for the efficient calculation of the transient vibration response for mistuned bladed disks under complex excitation and varying rotation speeds. The method uses the large-scale finite element modelling of the bladed disks allowing the accurate description of the dynamic properties of the mistuned bladed disks. The realistic distributions of the excitation forces are considered, which resulted in the multiharmonic excitation loads. The transient response calculation is based on the analytically derived expressions for the transient forced response and the effective method used for the model reduction. The effects of the varying rotation speed on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the mistuned bladed disk and its effects on the amplitude and the spectral composition of the loading are allowed for. The different functions of the rotation speed variation can be analyzed. Numerical studies of the transient forced response and the amplitude amplification in mistuned bladed disks are performed when the resonance regimes are passed during gas-turbine engine acceleration or deceleration. The effects of different types of excitation force and mistuning on transient amplitude amplification are illustrated by a large number of the computational results and comparative analysis. These results and analysis of transient forced response are shown on an example of a realistic mistuned bladed disk.

This paper is focused on the analysis of effects of mistuning on the forced response of gas turbine engine bladed disks vibrating in the frequency ranges corresponding to higher modes. For high modes considered here, the blade aerofoils are deformed during vibrations and the blade mode shapes differ significantly from beam mode shapes. A model reduction technique is developed for the computationally efficient and accurate analysis of forced response for bladed disks vibrating in high-frequency ranges. The high-fidelity finite element (FE) model of a tuned bladed disk sector is used to provide primary information about dynamic properties of a bladed disk, and the blade mistuning is modeled by specially defined mistuning matrices. The forced response displacement and stress amplitude levels are studied. The effects of different types of mistuning are examined, and the existence of high amplifications of mistuned forced response levels is shown for high-mode vibrations: in some cases, the resonance peak response of a tuned structure can be lower than out-of-resonance amplitudes of its mistuned counterpart.

Out Of Plane

The results of an experimental investigation on the effects of random blade mistuning on the forced dynamic response of bladed disks are reported. The primary aim of the experiment is to gain understanding of the phenomena of mode localization and forced response blade amplitude magnification in bladed disks. A stationary, nominally periodic, twelve-bladed disk with simple geometry is subjected to a traveling-wave, out-of-plane, “engine order” excitation delivered via phase-shifted control signals sent to piezo-electric actuators mounted on the blades. The bladed disk is then mistuned by the addition of small, unequal weights to the blade tips, and it is again subjected to a traveling wave excitation. The experimental data is used to verify analytical predictions about the occurrence of localized mode shapes, increases in forced response amplitude, and changes in resonant frequency due to the presence of mistuning. Very good agreement between experimental measurements and finite element analysis is obtained. The out-of-plane response is compared and contrasted with the previously reported in-plane mode localization behavior of the same test specimen. This work also represents an important extension of previous experimental study by investigating a frequency regime in which modal density is lower but disk-blade interaction is significantly greater.

The Impact

The results of an experimental investigation on the effects of random blade mistuning on the forced dynamic response of bladed disks are reported. Two experimental specimens are considered: a nominally periodic twelve-bladed disk with equal blade lengths, and the corresponding mistuned bladed disk, which features slightly different blades of random lengths. Both specimens are subject to traveling-wave excitations delivered by piezo-electric actuators. The primary aim of the experiment is to demonstrate the occurrence of an increase in forced response blade amplitudes due to mistuning, and to verify analytical predictions about the magnitude of these increases. In particular, the impact of localized mode shapes, engine order excitation, and disk structural coupling on the sensitivity of forced response amplitudes to blade mistuning is reported. This work reports one of the first systematic experiments carried out to demonstrate and quantify the effect of mistuning on the forced response of bladed disks.

Blade Flutter

Although bladed disks of turbomachinery are nominally designed to be cyclically symmetric (tuned system), the vibration characteristics of all blades on a disk are slightly different due to the manufacturing tolerance, the deviation of the material property, the wear during operation, and so on. These small variations break the cyclic symmetry, and split the eigenvalue pairs. The actual bladed disks with the small variations are referred to a mistuned system. In the forced response of a mistuned bladed disk, the responses of all blades become different, and the response of a certain blade may become extremely large due to the split of the duplicated eigenvalues, the distortion of the vibration modes, and so on. On the other hand, many researchers suggest that the mistuning suppresses the blade flutter, because the complete travelling wave mode is not formed in a disk. In other words, the main conclusions of researches on mistuning are that while mistuning has an undesirable effect on the forced response, it has a beneficial (stabilizing) effect on the blade flutter (the self-excited vibration). Although such mistuning phenomena of bladed disks have been studied since 1980s, almost all studies focused on the amplification factor of the displacement response, and few studies researched the amplification factor of the vibratory stress response. In this study, first, the frequency response analysis of the mistuned simple bladed disk consisting of flat plates is carried out. Comparing the amplification factor of the displacement response with that of the vibratory stress response, the amplification factor expressed by the vibratory stress is studied in detail. Second, the mistuning analysis of the actual bladed disk used in a steam turbine is carried out. From these results, the mistuning effect expressed by the vibratory stress is clarified.

Bladed Disk

A new method is developed for the forced response analysis of mistuned bladed disks manufactured from anisotropic materials and mistuned by different orientations of material anisotropy axes. The method uses (i) sector finite element (FE) models of anisotropic bladed disks and (ii) FE models of single blades and allows the calculation of displacements and stresses in a mistuned assembly. A high-fidelity reduction approach is proposed which ensures high-accuracy modeling by introducing an enhanced reduction basis. The reduction basis includes the modal properties of specially selected blades and bladed disks. The technique for the choice of the reduction basis has been developed, which provides the required accuracy while keeping the computation expense acceptable. An approach for effective modeling of anisotropy-mistuned bladed disk without a need to create a FE model for each mistuning pattern is developed. The approach is aimed at fast statistical analysis based on Monte Carlo simulations. All components of the methodology for anisotropy-mistuned bladed disks are demonstrated on the analysis of models of practical bladed disks. Effects of anisotropy mistuning on forced response levels are explored.

Abstract A new method has been developed for the analysis of nonlinear forced response of bladed disks mistuned by blade anisotropy scatter and for the forced response sensitivity to blade material anisotropy orientations. The approach allows for the calculation of bladed disks with nonlinear friction contact interfaces using the multi-harmonic balance method. The method uses efficient high-accuracy model reduction method for the minimization of the computational effort while providing required accuracy. The capabilities of the developed methods are validated and demonstrated using a two-blade model. A thorough study of the influence of the material anisotropy mistuning and its sensitivity on the characteristics of the forced response is carried out using finite element modes of anisotropy mistuned realistic bladed disk with nonlinear friction joints of blade roots and shroud contacts. The dependency of the nonlinear forced response on excitation level and contact pressure values has been carried out for anisotropy mistuned bladed disks.
