In this paper, robust maximum forced response reduction strategies based on a “large mistuning” concept are introduced, including both (i) random and (ii) deterministic approaches. An industrial bladed fan disk serves as an application example for a reliability assessment of the aforementioned strategies using two well-established tools for uncertainty analysis: (i) statistics and (ii) sensitivity and robustness. The feasibility and other practical aspects of implementing large mistuning as a means of preventing excessive forced response levels caused by random mistuning and ensuring the predictability of the response are discussed.

Purpose Considering that uncertain factors widely exist in engineering practice, an adaptive collocation method (ACM) is developed for the structural fuzzy uncertainty analysis. Design/methodology/approach ACM arranges points in the axis of the membership adaptively. Through the adaptive collocation procedure, ACM can arrange more points in the axis of the membership where the membership function changes sharply and fewer points in the axis of the membership where the membership function changes slowly. At each point arranged in the axis of the membership, the level-cut strategy is used to obtain the cut-level interval of the uncertain variables; besides, the vertex method and the Chebyshev interval uncertainty analysis method are used to conduct the cut-level interval uncertainty analysis. Findings The proposed ACM has a high accuracy without too much additional computational efforts. Originality/value A novel ACM is developed for the structural fuzzy uncertainty analysis.

This paper conducts a parameter interval uncertainty analysis of the internal resonance of a rotating porous shaft–disk–blade assembly reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs). The nanocomposite rotating assembly is considered to be composed of a porous metal matrix and graphene nanoplatelet (GPL) reinforcement material. Effective material properties are obtained by using the rule of mixture and the Halpin–Tsai micromechanical model. The modeling and internal resonance analysis of a rotating shaft–disk–blade assembly are carried out based on the finite element method. Moreover, based on the Chebyshev polynomial approximation method, the parameter interval uncertainty analysis of the rotating assembly is conducted. The effects of the uncertainties of the GPL length-to-width ratio, porosity coefficient and GPL length-to-thickness ratio are investigated in detail. The present analysis procedure can give an interval estimation of the vibration behavior of porous shaft–disk–blade rotors reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs).
