Study on Vibration Characteristics of Mistuned Bladed Disk (Vibration Response Analysis by Reduced Model FMM)

Abstract

It is well known that asymmetric vane spacing can result in decreased levels of the excitation at specific frequencies. In the previous paper, the resonant response reduction of mistuned bladed disks due to asymmetric vane spacing was studied by use of the equivalent spring-mass model. Although the mistuned bladed disk should be analyzed by FEA to accurately evaluate the resonant response reduction effect of asymmetric vane spacing, it is unrealistic due to enormous computational time. Therefore, in this study, the mistuned bladed disk is modeled by use of FMM (Fundamental Mistuning Model) to evaluate the resonant response reduction effect of asymmetric vane spacing accurately and practically. First, the frequency response analysis of a simple mistuned bladed disk consisting of flat plate blades is carried out for symmetric vane spacing, using both of FMM and the direct FE model, and the calculated results are compared to confirm the validity of FMM. Second, the frequency response analysis of a realistic bladed disk is carried out for asymmetric vane spacing, using FMM, to examine the effect of resonant response reduction effect.
