Vibration localization of a mistuned rotating multi-packet blade system undergoing external cyclic harmonic force

초록

A multi-packet blade system consists of several blades which are attached to a disk and connected through shrouds. The blades of a multi-packet blade system are usually assumed to be identical. However, there always exists small, random mistiming among the blades due to manufacturing tolerance, in-operation wear and environmental changes. Such mistuning may cause significant increase in the forced vibration responses of some blades in the multi-packet blade system. Critical fatigue problems often occur in mistuned systems since the forced vibration response of a mistuned system is often significantly larger than that of a tuned system. Therefore, it is very important to predict the maximum blade response. In this study, blades are idealized as cantilever beams and the flexibilities of the disk and shrouds are idealized as discrete springs. Equations of motion are derived using the hybrid deformation variable method. To realize vibration localization with random mistuning, transient analysis is carried out for a multi-packet blade system excited by multiple nozzle jet forces.
