Dry friction dampers are passive devices used to reduce the resonant vibration amplitudes in turbine bladed systems. In shrouded turbine blade systems, in addition to the stick- slip motion induced by dry friction during the contact state in the tangential direction, the interface also undergoes intermittent separation in the normal direction. The problem can thus be treated as a combination of impact and friction. In this work, the dynamics of dry friction damped oscillators which are representative models of dry friction damped bladed system is investigated. A one dimensional contact model which is capable of modeling the interface under constant and variable normal load is used. The steady state periodic solutions are obtained by multi - harmonic balance method (MHBM). Frequency response plots are generated for different values of normal load using the arc length continuation procedure. The MHBM solutions are validated using numerical integration. A single degree of freedom (dof) model under constant normal load with constant and variable friction coefficients, a dry friction damped two dof system under constant normal load and a two dof system under variable normal load are investigated. In the presence of variable normal load, the system shows multivalued frequency response and jump phenomenon. The optimal value of the normal load which gives minimum resonant response is also obtained.

The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.

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.

Wind turbine blade model is analyzed based on finite element method. Research and comparison of blade natural frequencies is made in different rotational working conditions taking into account external factors such as the rotational inertia force. Also the relationship between the composite ply angle and natural frequency is analyzed. The result shows that the nature frequency of wind turbine blade is influence greatly by the stress stiffening effect for the blade rotation. And the nature frequency of wind turbine blade can be designed by adjusting the single fiber layer ply angle of blade.

Friction is the force resisting relative motion between surfaces in contact. The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the frictional force to the normal load. Consequently the measurement of friction involves measurement of a normal load, movement of a surface, and measurement of a tangential force. The first part of this review paper deals with the basic principles of the friction process. The second part is concerned with experimental methods of measuring the friction.

A voltage balancer (VB) can be used to balance voltages under load unbalance in either a bipolar DC microgrid or LVDC (Low voltage DC) distribution system. An interleaved buck-type VB has advantages over other voltage balance topologies for reduction in output current ripple by an aspect of configuration of a physically symmetrical structure. Similarly, magnetic coupling such as winding two or more magnetic components into a single magnetic component can be selected to enhance the power density and dynamic response. In order to achieve these advantages in a VB, this paper proposes a VB with a coupled inductor (CI) as a substitute for inductors in a two-stage interleaved buck-type VB circuit. Based on patterns of switch poles under load variation, the variation in inductor currents under four switching patterns is induced. The proposed CI is derived from self-inductance based on the configuration structure that has a two-stage interleaved buck type and mathematical design results based on the coupling coefficient, where the coupling coefficient is a key factor in the determination of the dynamic response of the proposed VB in load variation. According to the results, a prototype scale is implemented to confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed VB.
