This paper deals with a reduced-order model of a multi-stage rotor in which each stage has a different number of blades. In particular, it is shown that a reduced-order model can be developed on the basis of tuned modes of certain bladed disks. The validity of this algorithm is shown for a spring-mass model with three degrees of freedom per sector. In addition, the statistical distributions of the peak maximum amplitude are generated via Monte Carlo simulations, and the impact of mistuning is examined for a two-stage rotor.

An algorithm to generate a reduced order model of a multi-stage 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 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.

This paper deals with the development of an accurate reduced-order model of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. The method is based on vibratory modes of various tuned systems and proper orthogonal decomposition of coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data on blade geometries. Results for an academic rotor are presented to establish the validity of the technique.

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.

Modified Modal Domain Analysis (MMDA) is a method to generate an accurate reduced order model (ROM) of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. An algorithm based on MMDA ROM and a state observer is developed to estimate forcing functions for synchronous (including integer multiples) conditions from the dynamic responses obtained at few nodal locations of blades. The method is tested on a simple spring-mass model, finite element model (FEM) of a geometrically mistuned academic rotor and FEM of a bladed rotor of an industrial scale transonic research compressor. The accuracy of the forcing function estimation algorithm is examined by varying the order of reduced-order model and the number of vibration output signals.

Modified Modal Domain Analysis (MMDA) is a novel method for the development of a reduced-order model of a bladed rotor with geometric mistuning. This method utilizes proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) data on blades’ geometries, and sector analyses using ANSYS and solid modeling. In a recent paper, MMDA has been extended to use second order Taylor series approximations of perturbations in mass and stiffness matrices (δM and δK) instead of exact δM and δK. Taylor series expansions of deviations in mass and stiffness matrices due to geometric mistuning give a direct approach for generating the reduced order model from the components of POD features of spatial variations in blades’ geometries. Reversing the process, algorithms for mistuning identification based on MMDA are presented in this paper to calculate the geometric mistuning parameters. Two types of algorithm, one based on modal analyses and the other on the forced responses, are presented. The validity of these methods are then verified through a mistuned academic rotor.

Mistuning has traditionally been modeled through the changes in Young’s moduli of blades, or equivalently through perturbations in the stiffness matrices associated with blades’ degrees of freedom. Such a mistuning is termed as Frequency Mistuning because it alters the blade alone frequencies without altering the mode shapes component associated with the blades. Many reduced order models have been developed for frequency mistuning [1–7]. Although frequency mistuning has been developed for Young’s Modulus mistuning, it is applied to geometric mistuning in the literature. In this paper frequency mistuning is applied to a geometrically mistuned system and the results from Subset of Nominal Modes (SNM) [5] technique, a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning, are compared with those from Modified Modal Domain Analysis (MMDA). It is shown that frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning in general, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes and forced response.

Modified modal domain analysis (MMDA) is a novel method for the development of a reduced order model of a bladed rotor with geometric mistuning.
